Out with the old
Well that’s it. I’ve finally done away with my old desktop PC. I’m at the verge of being an all Mac household. Whew, and its about time too. The old desktop is probably the oldest computer I have ever had. I acquired it way back in ‘99 when the startup I worked for at the time finally went under. It lasted through a few upgrades some not so graceful yet it persisted. So as at any solemn occasion we should observe a moment of silence in respect for the dear departed PC… OK lets party!! Did I mention that I love Mac’s. “Everything just works” Actually today I got rid of two PCs. The other was an old laptop that was as old as dirt. Yeah, yeah, I went through all the security measures, I wiped the hard drives, removed the ones in the desktop for later disposal, the whole shebang. The only PC I have left in the house is a Gateway laptop I got back in 2001. And its gone as soon as I can convince myself I’m not getting rid of something that is still useful. Well I should be able to do that already, I almost never use it. And why should I? Since installing VM Ware on my Mac, I can run any Windows programs I need to with Windows XP running inside a window on my Mac. As ironic as it is, my Mac is the fastest Windows machine I have ever worked on.
