Not sure how that joke would end but hopefully in a massive fight. I’m by no means a fanboy of any particular environment, machine or ethos but have been in the past. I think its almost a right of passage that someone who spends the majority of there day on a computer has to undertake at somepoint in there life, other people have there own take on it but thats mine.
Starting of on a Windows machine at the age of 6 things have certainly changed a whole lot and this crazy thing called the internet has become the most important media revoluition in years. Anyhow back to my story, I loved windows and was a advocate of how easy the system was back in the day, good old 3.1 and DOS. I think that was the reason I fell in love with computers, that and the film hackers. Windows played a key role in my life, with windows 3.1 becoming 95, becmoing 98, becoming me, becoming XP, then vista hit and the world went to pot. Moreover I had also started at University and a recent rollout of Apple Macs gave me the chance to play.
Windows lost its appeal and Mac becaming a shining light of purity free from bluescreens, glitches and driver issues. My main computer at the time and still living actually was a Sony Vaio with XP installed but this soon came to feel inaddequate as the fanboys grew around me each with a shiny new mac that slowly pulled me away from the Vaio. Eventually I bought a second hand Mac Mini, strapped for cash being a student, it was heaven smooth sailing for a year or two and always on hand, the perfect little machine for the day. I fell in love with Apple and the iphone soon found its way into my pocket, thats still there to. Another year went by and a fair bit of travelling about with short stays herea and there meant that the Old Windows Laptop brough free of the cupboard and came back to life, although a little shaky and forgetful, it eventually got to the point where I could stand it no longer, on that day Linux came to play, a lot of bluescreens and driver issues had caused some serious hulabaloo in Windows land and I needed some work of the harddrive. Luckily the LiveCd was on hand and Linux seemed interesting.
Well thats enough for today, but theres still a lot to go.
