I am a Mac Convert

Steve Jobs, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on desktops as it is in Notebooks.
Give us this day our daily cool gadget.
And forgive us our Windows CE,
as we forgive those who Blackberry against us.
And lead us not into Office,
but deliver us from Windows. Amen.

Copied it from Luis Sigal as it is soooo original and incredibly funny :) Hope you like it the way I do! :) The only thing that I’m still upset about the Apple Macbook is the fact that it is not easy to make it windows friendly. Because some applications still need to be run with Windows, and can not easily be used on a Macbook. But that time will come…

I can do nothing but stand in awe – me and my commodore 64.

Well, it’s actually quite easy to make Windows application run nowadays!

You can temporarily run Windows instead of Mac OS X with Apple Bootcamp (works perfectly, included for free in OS X 10.5): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_%28software%29

Or, even better, run Windows programms while running Mac OS X with either VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop (both highly rated, but not free):

About the games, obviously there aren’t so many yet on Macs. Regarding productivity, that might be a good thing though :-)

welcome to the Mac world! I converted to Apple in 2002 and never look back! Yes, just like Michael said, with Intel 2 core duo, it’s easy to go back and forward from Mac to Windows and vice versa…. though I never really need Windows….

hey, what a great prayer to begin my Sunday! thanks :) )
