omg it happened

So this will be a bit different. I recently got a new laptop. Been wanting a laptop for a while, as I miss having a second machine to use when my other computer is taken up, and also wanted a laptop to use for work (a laptop I know that works and has the tools I want).

I fought over how much I wanted to spend, and what kind of laptop. I finally decided to get a Macbook Pro (partly cause I wanted a laptop that would last a while as my other laptop did). And yes, a Mac.

I have always been a PC person. Old school Macs were pretty much useless. They really had no benefit over PC and since most things did not work on Macs, and most made Windows stuff, it seemed silly to get a Mac. However, once Apple switched to Intel, it changed quite a bit. You can now run Windows on a Mac, the computers are much faster.

That being said... Macs are better. Its odd to say that. But after having my laptop for a couple of weeks now. Mac OS X is better than Windows. Its easier, better laid out and faster. Now, I still like Windows XP. Very solid and generally fast. Vista on the other hand, crap. Major crap, even after SP1 its still far slower than it should be. Windows 7 better kick some major ass. Otherwise, I can see Mac OS X taking over. And good. Im highly considering when I buy my next Desktop (which won't be anytime soon, as my current one is still pretty damn good) depending I may end up with a Mac.

Beyond that, haven't really been up to much. Heard something interesting today about the group I used to be a part of, however Im not going to repost it here. Makes me wonder though. Been playing Counterstrike more lately. Oh, and my car is almost finally paid off. Anyways, back to watching a debate that Hitchens was in.
