| What Computer Should I Buy--Special "This Month" Edition |
[Sep. 26th, 2008|02:15 pm] |
I was talking to my friend Rubbertoe in Vancouver over the emails.
You must understand something: Rob has worked with computer crap longer than I have. He's probably done an order of magnitude more meaningful work with computers than I have. He's also crankier than I am. He project-manages for a company that makes software for Windows. He runs Linux boxes in his house. He worked with AS/400s. He Knows Things.
And he is very happy with his Macbook.
Sadly, Rob had a beer-related mishap with his MacBook, which ended OK, but now he doesn't trust it forever. He does a lot of recording and stuff, and he's had laptops go away on him before, taking with them things he would have preferred not to lose. So he bought aTime Capsule, which he set up and it Just Worked.
He wrote this:
*... i'm becoming such a fan of apple that i
* feel i need to go out and buy an iphone just so i have a reason to
* bitch about them.
To which I replied:
Save some money--install iTunes on your Windows machine. Be sure not
to tell me how that goes.
This lead to a discussion of What Computer To Buy Today, which is a question I have been asked a lot in the last couple-three months.
( And here is where I am with that )
