The downside is that I feel sort of stupid when someone asks me to troubleshoot their PC now. It takes me a few seconds before I remember what I should be looking for in the mess that is the Control Panel. I've gotten to the point now where I give something a try and then say, "Maybe try a Mac? That might solve the issue."

I think you will find less people who worship the Macintosh and more people who appreciate it for its user interface and aesthetic design. I used to be part of the mac cult (whether I knew it or not) but now I realize it is just a computer. It just happens to be better than what the rest of the world uses.

Qion will become famous soon enough
You know this brings to mind something that happened in the very distant today...

1. I fixed my friend's PC (for the second time)
2. I got an itch to see if I could get the PC in my closet to work again, and possibly use it alongside my eMac.
3. I fixed the closet-PC.
4. I sat for an hour staring at the green and blue field on the PC.
5. The PC crashed for no apparent reason.
6. I put everything I had worked on away, and pulled the PC hard drive.
7. I threw the PC hard drive in an external bay, and praised the simplicity of my almighty Macintosh.
