The Dark Side

I'm seriously considering buying a second hand Powerbook G4. This from the man who claimed he'd never buy a Mac. But the price is so good that it would be rude not to.

Maybe I can claim it's for cross-platform testing of software... hmmm.... yeah that's it :)

You could always buy a Lego Mac...

Never buy a Mac ...

I used to be the same, except that I always loved Apple's hardware, hated their OS. Now that they have a halfway decent OS I can use the hardware that I've liked for so long.

I'll have to remember this argument...

I'll have to remember this argument when I'm trying to convince my wife that I need more gadgets.

"But hon, I have to buy it! I can't be seen being rude."

Beware. The last time I used this argument, my wife replied : cool, so we can sell the old one you won't need any longer.
