Making the Switch

Apple makes some great products. But there's a down side to all that ease-of-use; it makes you dumb. At least that's the effect it had on me. I remember spending hours (days even) tweaking all the details in Linux. After I bought my first Mac in 2003 all that slowed and eventually stopped. I never thought of myself as a conformist .. Quite the opposite. But I have conformed to Mac OS with little fuss. Of course having access to a UNIX prompt helps.
