To the office Mac Whore, I apologize. I apologize for taunting you and your Cult of Apple ways. I apologize for all of my crimes and insults against the Mac. And I apologize for my slurs against St. Steven Jobs.
I just purchased a Mac mini (the 1.66GHz version, with 1 gig of RAM). Wow. It’s freakin’ awesome. And I really haven’t even done much with it yet.
The setup alone was a study in ease and elegance. I wanted to transfer all of my settings from a Powerbook that has anchored my home computing. In a little more than an hour, I’d transferred all the files and settings with no problem. Even when I thought I might have problems because I use a wireless keyboard and mouse, the Mini detected each during setup and sucked it into the new world.
Best of all, it’s blazing fast. Major improvement over the Powerbook I was using. I can’t wait to get my Stubbs the Zombie game to really put this machine through its paces. Time to eat some brains.
This is how computers should work. I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to run Windows on this machine, but I know this much: My next work computer will be a Mac. The only thing that really has held me back is that so many of our applications are Windows-centric. Now that I can run either system on a Mac, I’m there …

Hey Bob,
‘Bout time you got some true religion. 😉
(Now that I live in the Bible belt I can say things like that … I’m still working on the phrase “God bless her little heart,” but I haven’t quite got the accent down, or the syrupy sweet attitude with that underlying hint of flashing knives.)
