Apple fans, rejoyce. I have ventured to the other side.

Okay, I already use iTunes, but today I bought a genuine Apple product:

:drool:

They make THE best LCD monitors out there, second to NONE.

1. You know what they say...

Once you go Mac, you never go back.

2. Word? Not OpenOffice.Org?

:rofl:

I'm still waiting for WINE under Linux to become usable again... I can't afford a real Mac with the specs I want, even if they are merely glorified Intel boxes these days running a modified FreeBSD... :D

4. Used to

Two 3D rendering apps necessitated my need to return to Windows. x(

Linux is far more stable, out of the box. Drivers and all.

But Windows has the apps without excessive tinkering and that's what I need to do. :(

I can't wait for WINE to be updated so I can try to run them in Linux again; I'd rather fidget to get them working - than fidget with registry cleaning, defragging, and k00ky bizarre errors half the time; Linux was such a treat by comparison.

6. Nice...

I might take my chances and wait for WINE, as I cannot afford a new Mac right now. Especially as I spent a lot for a new dual-core Athlon64 PC.

8. All it takes is one Apple product...

then you'll have the overwhelming urge to buy another, then another, and then soon they'll displace all other machines in your home.

I know from experience. My first foray into the world of Apple was with a 3G iPod, just under a year ago it was a PowerMac, next is the 30" monitor. Will it never end?
