I'm currently on my first-ever Mac laptop and I had to check my "About" thing to see if it really had bunnies and cake. I didn't think so but I wasn't even sure. LOL.

Last year I think I had to upgrade my RAM from icicles to cute raindrops and a half-sun. I'm sure my Mini would work BETTER if I had a new one that went all the way up to rainbows, but it's appeasing the magic elves that bring me the internet and play my music, so I'm not complaining, especially since the cute raindrops were cheap!

I went Windows to Linux, and then fled screaming from Linux to Mac. And I'm a happy Mac user. I really am. I like not fussing about security things, I like the user-friendly bunnies. Those bunnies are so soft and huggable! They love me.

...but I keep contemplating getting a Windows laptop on the side for all those games I can't get on the Mac. Dammit. I blame Steam.

Those fucking bunnies are the reason I break out in hives if I accidentally brush up against a Mac.

...I used to be a graphic designer and typesetter. So I used a lot of Macs. And the last thing I wanted while I was sitting in an underground bunker doing conscript labor for obscenely low wages was a FUCKING BUNNY WISHING ME A NICE DAY.

Or my computer smiling at me.

Also, not being a visual person, I find the interface amazingly distracting with all its bouncy things.

But you know, I appreciate that other people like them. I just wear nitrile gloves to clean around them.

It took me a while to come to terms with Happy Bouncing Icons. But what sold me on Macs more than anything else was how huggable they looked. If they ever come out with an iPhone in a fuzzy little kitty suit, I'm doomed.

Meanwhile, the spouse uses Linux and does most everything from the command line. It helps us both keep a healthy agnosticism about the One True OS, to have both in the house.

Yeah. I don't like chibi anything. Especially computers. *g* But I know it's a personal preference, not a religious issue.

This is exactly why I went Mac--my late husband, who was not late at the time, was a high-level programmer for $ReallyBigProgrammingLanguageCompany and my Windows boxes still broke all the damn time. So I got a Mac.

It's true. Once you go Mac, you never go back.

Eh, not always. They gave me a mac at my new job, and I eventually just gave up in frustration and asked for a windows machine.

I went back, sobbing and begging for forgiveness.

My computer does what I tell it to do.

Macs tell YOU what to do, and how, and send you to sit in the corner if you dare want anything otherwise.
