I’m a Switcher

This is just a quick post, but many of you know I broke my Apple Powerbook 15″ laptop a few months back. It has been serving me well as a desktop, but I really need a laptop. Last night there was one of those special fire sales…

Dude, I’m getting a Dell.

This makes me a Switcher, or as some would have it, a reverse-switcher. However, I’m not planning on using Windows, I’m planning on using Linux.

I got it at $700 off, so it really was a one-time deal. That’s about all for now, more when I get it. Feel free to discuss my impropriety in the Comments.

    I can respect running Linux on a cheap PC…you know, as a temporary measure…until the hordes of Mac fanatics burn giant wooden Apple logos on your lawn.

    But a Dell? Those are the most, um, brick-like laptops I’ve ever seen.

    [...] For those of you just tuning into my blog and/or my life, I “switched” my computing platform in a strange way - from Mac OS X to Linux. I have learned a lot in the past 9 months, and I would like to share some of my surprising discoveries. [...]
