Ten years ago I abandoned my Mac for a PC (for professional reasons). Now I’ve returned. I finally had enough with my crappy Dell laptop constantly breaking and Windows XP constantly annoying me. So I bought a 17″ MacBook Pro and I’m rediscovering the Joy of Mac. I’ve had this now for about 10 days, and during that time my two most common (and frequent) reactions have been:

• Wow, that’s really cool.
• Hey, it works, like it’s supposed to.

As a Windows user I had forgotten what it’s like to utter those words. I still have my Dell laptop running Windows XP Pro (which has Windows rot and needs a complete reinstall). I still need to use it for a few things, and every time I do the most common reaction is from my wife:

• Honey, it’s a good thing we don’t have children around with what’s coming out of your mouth.

Gotta go…can’t wait to discover some more Mac coolness…
