Coming out

May 06, 2007 19:11



If you've been reading my Mac blog (Mac-A-Doodle), you'll know I'm dabbling in the Dark Side and using an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T43 for work. Mostly I leave it in the office and just bring it home on weekends, and my reputation as a Mac User and Terminal Apple Fanboy would generally be safe because if it's not in my office it's in the bag.

Now though I'm writing this entry on the T43 in public, at a branch of Starbucks on Katipunan. Mano usually does the groceries here while Rico and I chill in the coffee shop and I just surf on the Mac. Today it's different; I left the Powerbook at home. I feel distinctly ill at ease doing this. Then again, I know intellectually that no one would notice or care, but being a proud fanboy I feel I have a reputation and an image to keep up, even if it's all in my imagination.

Stupid to feel this way, I know, and you'd be right a thousand times over for calling me an ass about it. But I can't help it. I guess I'll get used to it. Just taking time out to mention it here. Now back to work. On a Windows PC. In public. *shudder*
