Traitor!
It’s blasphemy, I tell you!
Tonight I installed Windows on my Mac. It doesn’t even look right when I type it.
Here’s how it happened…
When I quit my job last year and started my full time web design company, I knew I would need a PC to check my work on. I think it’s always wise to make sure your sites look good in all web browsers and across all computers. So before I left, I asked if I could take one of their old PC’s with me that was just sitting in the closet. They said it was fine.
I have to admit, that old PC has really helped me out this past year. True, it’s running Windows 98, it uses a floppy disk drive, it doesn’t recognize the mouse, and it smells like weed. Yes, weed. Marijuana. I’ve never smoked it, but I know what it smells like. Oh, and did I mention it wouldn’t connect to my wireless network so it doesn’t have internet access?
But hey, it was free. I would use a USB drive and port data back and forth from my Mac, checking out my work. It got the job done and I was able to make sure my work looked good before presenting it to clients. It was surprisingly zippy for only having 32MB of RAM (yes, you read that correctly). I think that 98 was the last good version of Windows. I truly do.
Anyhoo, my needs have outgrown the little weed machine. I needed a fully functional, modern copy of Windows. So I bought Windows XP off eBay (because Vista is shitacious!) and I installed it on my Mac.
The sad thing is that Windows runs better on a Mac than I’ve ever seen it run on a PC. Imagine that.
So there you have it. I’ve whored out my Mac to Microsoft. Are you happy now?

I have a PC desktop and a mac lappy. So I’m a traitor as well.
i haven’t converted to the “dark side” yet…still a PC user here…although i think that Macs are really stylish and cool ^_^
Blasphemous!!
Actually, I’ve been curious to see how XP would run on my Mac. Maybe I’ll scour the halls of eBay for a copy.
I shall pray for you my child.
I will also never admit that there is a PC in the spare room for emergencies. I swear to God there isn’t one there. Really I mean it. Not there Nope no PC in this house.
