I did it. Finally. It’s my first Apple since the Apple Macintosh that I owned in college (1988-1989?). I admit that I was waiting to see what Microsoft shipped with Vista. I really wanted it to Wow people and make things interesting. But I’m not surprised that they didn’t. Paul Graham’s essay Microsoft is Dead was the final kick in the ass for me — I instantly knew that I needed to make the shift, to hell with the minor inconvenience of learning a new system. And, funny, the last thing that happened with my Sony Vaio before I headed off to the Apple Store? It froze in Outlook. Ha!
How’s this for an Apple upgrade?

Congrats on getting a MacBook Pro. Enjoy it! I love mine (15″ C2D). I just upgraded to 3 GB…not sure why, just wanted to give it some love.
By the way, where did you find that background on your screen? What are those widgets…I’ve never seen those before. Just askin’
