Gee!I've recently been reading this blog called MacAndBack relating the adventures of a Macintosh user who switched to the PC. After my switch to OS X on my shiny Powerbook it's interesting to see a kind of inverted experience to my own.
The entries that he writes are well-informed pieces written by an obvious power-user. Since he started he has encountered many of the problems that frustrated me about the Window's platform and described them eloquently.
A couple of sections had me nodding in agreement: This one about installation wizards in particular struck a cord and is one reason I love my Mac. Installation consists of dragging the new application to the Applications folder. There are still installation wizards or course, mainly for installing preference panes or other more deeper system apps but on the whole an application is self-contained. When I delete it from the Applications folder, I know I'm getting every little bit of it because I was the one who put it there in the first place. There's no registry to clean, no fuss, no muss.
Plus this entry gave me a knowing smile. Windows seems to be lousy with these "helpful" error messages.
In other (big) news, I was accepted at USC and will be working for my masters in Computer Science, Multimedia and Creative Technologies, part of the Integrated Media Systems Center. All I can say is: W0000000000000000000t!
