Dave nails it once again.

A Mac user’s view after five months with Vista

I have tried very hard to like Vista. I really did not have a lot of choice. I needed some sort of Windows to run Internet Explorer and the forms package that NC real estate agents use to complete transactions.

I did not have the resources to run Windows on my two year old MacBook, and buying an inexpensive Windows laptop was the cheapest solution.

At a certain point you have to decide that frustration you are experiencing is something you are willing to endure or make plans to minimize it.

I knew when another Realtor® called me this weekend and wanted advice on buying a computer that I had come to a conclusion. He was already leaning towards a Mac, so I came out and told him that he would be better off with a Mac if he could afford it.

Some of my favorite lines from the post:

* Life is too short to be constantly dealing with operating system frustrations.

* While there are people like me who have to use Windows, I am still baffled at how so many people can buy a product that does not really work well.

* Having to reboot a system a couple of times a day is inexcusable this far into the computer revolution.

After years of blogging, still not a bad post from the man – cheers!
