Mac vs PC (and why this is a dumb discussion)
All right, I really, really, reeeeally need to get this of my chest. I normally do not really participate in this classic discussion, mostly because there is no point. Everybody who knows something about computers has an opinion in this field, and whether it’s a valid one or not, it’s really hard to convince one side of anything good about the other side.

At the office i’m forced to use a Windows Machine, and we joke about this all the time, but I don”t have the techno-babble-skills to win from those geeks (believe it or not, i’m the designer, the other guys have a lot more IT-fu then I will ever have.), so that explains where this frustration comes from...
