Technology is sometimes more trouble than it's worth. I just spent an hour on the phone with the tech support guy at HP. I've been getting the blue screen of death - wait, scratch that. There are still words when I get my blue screen, so maybe that means I'm getting the blue screen of life-support. download free fetish movies

The tech guy was helpful. I think we isolated the problem - turns out the piece-of-shit program that was supposed to be protecting my computer from viruses and the like, was jacking me up all kinds of ways. It still remains to be seen if that really is the problem. I'm not getting blue screen, but hold up, let me save this entry in case my computer self-destructs in five seconds.

*pause*

OK. I'm back. Sitting on the phone with Tech Support Guy, it dawned on me that I needed to make a change. How I arrived at this decision? Simple, really. I realized that I had just wasted an hour of my time trying to figure out why my computer was urpee-ing up on me. This is after I spent an hour and then some over the weekend, talking to a different tech guy.

I don't have hours to deal with this stuff. Not right now.

And so I thought about the Mac that I had at work during this past school year. Oh, lovely Mac with your OS X. Oh, beautiful Mac that never gave me blue screen of death, that never crashed, that barely even hiccuped.

Yes, it is true that I used to detest Macintosh. I thought they were burdensome and not nearly as user-friendly as the PC. No more. I've decided, if I have to scrimp and save, the next computer I buy will be a Mac. I'm switching.

Out of all the changes in my life that I find myself making as of late, the decision to make this one has been the easiest so far.

Dammit Man! I have absolutely NOOOO point of referrence, save for the little Apple II my cousin had back in the day when I didn't know what a computer was. Is the Mac THAT much better? and is it THAT much different as to provide any negligible learning curve. Why isn't the Mac the standard and not the PC (ommitting the obvious answer in Mr. Gates world domination plan)?

Welcome to the BRIGHT side!

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
