End of an Era
From the time I started college in 1994 I've been using PCs -- beginning with my original 486DX2-66 running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 all the way through the P4 running Windows 2000. But a power surge took out my uninterruptable power supply and the PC's power supply in mid-January, and since then I've been using the MacBook Pro.
Saturday I finally gave up on replacing the power supply, trivial as it would be. There's just nothing I've had to do in the last nine months that I required a PC for, and if it does come up I'll just install it on my XP virtual machine. Since all my monitors, etc., had been doing was collecting dust I just put everything away. Now my desk only holds the Mac, the cable modem and router, and the scanner/printer.
It seems kind of odd having so much desk space; for more than a decade I've needed two desks in order to do anything. And not having the desktop sitting around is a little weird, almost like I don't have a "real" computer even though the Mac is probably more powerful.
So, yeah. I guess I'm officially a Mac person now. I expect to be writing shitty poetry in a Starbucks while wearing a mock turtleneck any day now.
