There are times that I really hate my materialistic streak.

Like, for example, the fact that since we use iMacs at the Speaking Center - in fact, I'm typing this entry on one now - I'm seriously considering getting a Mac (desktop or laptop) for when my desktop inevitably craps out on me, because it's really nice. >_>

I SWORE I WOULD NEVER BECOME ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE, THOSE CRAZY APPLE FANS WITH THE MANIACAL GLEAM IN THEIR EYES...and here I am, with an iPod, and considering buying a Mac eventually. GOOD GRIEF, AUGH

Maybe I should just get a nicer monitor next time though, since while the Mac interface and such is appealing, what I find the most enticing is the awesome awesome monitor that makes everything look ridiculously pretty, even when you're just checking LJ or surfing ONTD. And I really do like Windows XP too, for different reasons. (Though you can run that on Macs now too, that's right...how is software compatibility when running PC games and other software on Mac-XP?)

One thing is for sure, though; if when I look at buying another computer, Vista is my only PC option, then you better believe I'm buying a Mac. (I hate Vista with a fiery passion, mostly because every single person I know who has it complains about it, and the one time I had to use it on my brother's PC I didn't find it all that intuitive either. Not that easy to use + taking out functionality = a sucky OS.)

Word. I have vowed never to get a Mac, so I bought a new laptop with Vista on it. And it's everything that drives me crazy about how the Mac operating system works! I want real Windows back!!!! And I will giggle a lot if you get an apple sticker and put in on your windshield.

ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

Reporting for duty! :D

XP runs like it runs on any other machine - it doesn't realise it's on a Mac or anything. :P You have to reboot rather than run it in Parallels for the best experience, though it'll run porn 2D games fine from within OS X.

I've been considering getting a Mac for sometime. I would have gotten one the last go around but I didn't have the money for the kind of mac I wanted. Also at the time, I wanted to play PC games which sadly lack for the Mac (though the kind I like are starting to lack in general), but with Parallels, I could run most of the games that I would want to play. They are worth looking into, they are so nice and shinny.
