Contemptible

I used to be one of those who held Mac users in contempt. If you make a computer simple to use, only simpletons would use it I thought. :) Not to mention the old MacOS was inflexible and the GUI way was the only way. Not that I was Windows user, I was mostly a Unix geek who toyed with *BSD and Linux and only used Windows for my work applications where there was no option.

Well. A while back I was given the choice of taking a Mac G4 PowerBook OSX to replace my aging Compaq laptop. The first few weeks were tentative and apprehensive, but I have grown to appreciate the Mac, and now find it far more flexible than my Windows laptop. Not to mention it looks far cooler. :)

Not really, but here's the inaugural posting

Well, here goes with my first posting on this. Of course, I doubt you will find the meaning of life, the universe and everything here but it's all part of the journey. :)

Originally, I just got this blogger account to assist my partner with her move from an older, less intuitive blogging site to this one. However, lately I thought I should give this a go, just so I have an extra place to rant, and so I have more of an understanding.
