Finally, after a few months of thinking of about it, my wife and I decided to switch to Macs from — no not Windows — but from Linux. We actually switched way back in April, but it’s only now that I’ve had time to write about it. We are a different breed in a sense as most switchers are coming off Windows.
I had decided as early as 2003 that I have had enough of Windows. I started with DOS in 1987 (I was in second year high school at the time) and eventually moved up to Windows 95 in 1996, Windows 98 in 1999, and XP in 2003.

Our PC is nearing the end of it’s life. It has served me well for 5 years (and within those years, has served my wife and me for nearly 2). Hopefully, my wife and I can extract our data soon. The face is really starting to fade (monitor has lost brightness). There are times that it barely has enough strength to do anything (power supply doesn’t want to power up). The memory is going (memory module is acting up). The poor guy can’t even read it’s own handwriting (hard disk is failing).
My wife and I are planning on getting a Mac for our next computer. It’s really a different breed of computer from what we’ve heard, read, and seen. It doesn’t get sick (no viruses) or attacked (no security holes) that easily.
