I'm a mac person, and I obsess about it. Here's a good example. I'm sitting at my computer right now, at work, and I was just thinking about how much I love BBEdit. BBEdit is a text editor. Why the fuck do I care so much for my text editor? I don't have a clue. If I were on Windows I'd probably have choice words to say about my coding environment, but I doubt "love" would be one of the top 5 emotions. But I actively appreciate my text editor, BBEdit 7.0.2 under OS X.
The real irony comes from the fact that, when I was 11, I thought macs were stupid. Then I went to college and got all into unix, and then Apple bought NeXT and got all into unix. Oh well. Showed me.
While I'm at it, I also love Boorum and Pease bound notebooks($40 a pop!) and the Zeb Roller 2000 ($3!). My love for office supplies rivals that of Herbert K.
Posted by Ethan at February 27, 2003 12:40 PMYou know you're right Ethan! You can't beat an Apple. Look at what the company has done over the years, the improvements made in plastics... just to talk about the hardware... I can't sleep at night unless there's white strobe light in the room, pulsing with a periodicity of about 4.5 seconds. Take a look at the new MacOS X. It's got Unix. It's got the old MacOS. It's got free developer tools that are actually fun to use. Windows swish swoshin all around you like it's some kind of washing machine, washing sheets and putting them in drawers.
If my icons are too small.. Blam! Bigger.
It's got a new look... a whole new feel. You remember that old Quadra I had. That thing sucked compared to all this new shit!
