I think it's really funny how just recently, Apple officially launched their program that lets you run Windows XP on Macs - a lot of people think it's completely terrible and a big sell-out, I was reading about it either yesterday or the day before. Because Apple was that one holdout against Microsoft, and now it's like... yeah OK, I guess we could accomodate your operating system on our computers. I figured you might be interested in that given your (well-written) piece about Apple, lol. Have a great weekend!

I'm actually really happy about that move. Because it means that more people will consider making the "switch" (PC to Mac), because one reason not to switch is saying that "There aren;t as many programs for macs, not as many people use them, i need my pc to use this program, etc..." but now that reason is gone, you can buy a mac, use the Apple operating system, then you you NEED to, you can swtich to XP, do what you came to do, and leave as fast as you can!!!! And apple isn't becoming microsoft, just, giving people what they want. I think this'll give them even more support than they have. Yay! Go apple!!!

I realize macs are beautiful, and nice little machines, however... well... for most people and purposes they are fine. But I'll be honest. Once you get a mac, at least I'm under the impression, its not very easy to mod and upgrade. Which for me is a problem. Inherently I dont think macs will ever be able to do that, they would lose their sleak look then. Although I'll say the XP hosting is a brilliant move that tempted me greatly for a moment. Oh macs. Oh PCs. The debate will always be there...
I only wish there was a lovely compromise.
Oh and by the way, friended back times ten, as you can see.

Whoa, I never knew you were a fellow Maccy! You went up a million points in my books. And I don't like XP because it spells a face. Anyway, until the next.
