A /switch Story

OK. In the beginning, there was a PC. Large, powerful, and slow. And it did get most of the work done - even though most of the stuff took forever. And never mind the daily updates for Antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-everything just to keep it alive and kicking.

And then came the iBook. Small, cute - the wife loved it. No more coffee breaks while the computer was booting up, bo more coffee breaks while it was shutting down (hey, no need to even shutdown! Just close the LCD top and it would go to sleep!)

The PC is still around, gathering dust, and hoping for an early retirement via EBay. Well, once in a while, it still gets the updates, and Minesweeper still gets the limelight - but it can no more intimidate!
