The passing of an era, as far as I know, all the founding fathers of computing have retired at this point.
I look forward to the continually bright future of Apple.
Sometimes in life, you just need to switch things up. You realize you've been doing things either just a little less efficiently or outright wrong and you just need to make a jump into something different... I hit this point over the last year and finally had the guts to make a major change. Yes, I bought a Mac Book Pro. Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994. Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience. Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now. Well, sorta. This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware. Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
