Okay, so admission time - I’m a PC guy.

In the main, this is a function of personal history - I cut my pre-teen computing teeth on Windows 3.11 and Sierra adventure games (ah, Roger Wilco, we hardly knew ye), and surfed the Mesozoic age of the web on the stalwart S.S. Netscape Navigator. As time went on, I learned to cobble together my own machines out of disparate bits of motherboard and RAM, giving life to inert parts in a process both primal and alchemical. Sure, they were rough around the edges, but there’s an undeniable charm to using a computer built with your own two hands.

Macs have always been...the other computer. I was never much interested in the sports rivalry between the competing machines, but I honestly didn’t like using Apple’s OS. The supposedly slick and intuitive user interface confused me. What’s with these programs that don’t close when you close them, and where was my C: drive, damnit? I crave simple file trees; without them, the jitters come.

Having recently come aboard at CurrentMarketing, I found myself tossed into the deep end of Macintosh use. My work machine is a comely beast, it must be said, but I intended to keep the relationship strictly business. One can use a Mac all day and come home to a PC every night, right? No big deal. That big LCD screen was mighty tempting, sure, but it didn’t mean anything. Honest...

Wait, what’s this? Coda? Well, isn’t it nice that someone made what Dreamweaver has always wanted to be in its innermost fantasies. Wish I could use that at home...

My PC is infected with the hideous AV Security virus? Ugh, there goes the weekend. Glad that’ll never be an issue for my work machine. Wow, once you get to know it, this user interface really is fantastic...

So, that’s it. By slow erosion, my CurrentMarketing experience is turning me into a Mac Guy. There’s no shame, really. It feels good. Natural. Like it was always supposed to be this way.
