Back to Mac

I've been thinking about buying a laptop for ages, and just recently there's been more and more reasons to do so.

I've also been thinking about getting a Mac. Again for a lot of reasons. Partly because I'm not on-call for work any more so I don't need a PC for office troubleshooting, and there were less and less things that I needed a Wintel platform to use. Partly because I wanted something totally new to play with, I was getting bored with PC systems and longed for an all-new toy to play with, where things weren't too familiar. And partly because Macs were where I started in personal computing, my first full-time job was laying out teaching materials using Aldus PageMaker! I've had a soft spot for them ever since.

So I've never stopped liking Macs, they just became a luxury I couldn't afford as my work environment became PC-based.

And when I decided it was time to return to Mac ownership again... I thought it was worth doing it in style. :-)
