Took the Mac Plunge.

I feel like I just proposed or something. Honestly, the path to the dark mac side has been a long, soul-searching journey… who am I kidding? I’m a PC guy who just bought a Mac.

Oddly, it wasn’t the OS that sold me on Mac. It was that 1.08-inch-thin profile, 13″ screen, good battery life, fast processor, and Accordance Bible Software–available only on a Mac (according to SvenOnTech.com, “this may be reason enough to move the Mac platform”). But yes, I finally did it. There will be laughter and jubilee in Akron, Ohio tonight. I’ll have to make fun of myself for being a hippie-artsy-type with the trademark white clamshell.

No MBP for me (what would I use it for besides making other people jealous? I’ve got a desktop PC for gaming or processor-intensive tasks), just the bottom-of-the-line MacBook, $999 with my education discount. Tack on a free-after-rebate iPod and free-after-rebate printer (which will be sold after cutting out the UPCs), and I’ll probably end up getting away with a $800-ish new MacBook by the time it’s all said and done. How could you turn that down?

It feels good to finally be done with all the waffling back and forth. NT Greek Exegesis I will be so much easier with software that parses verbs for me…

WOW! That is a surprise. Way to go. Don’t become one of those people you always talked about.

:-D Give me a little time. I’m not ready to be a mac snob yet, but I am really excited to get my new baby. Any software suggestions?

Quicksilver, AudioHijackPro, HandBrake, and http://www.versiontracker.com/ is a great place to get pdates and everything mac
