I have been an avid Windows/PC user for about as long as I can remember.  My first computer was a Coleco Adam Computer but after that we had a IBM PS/2 with Windows 3.1.  I think it was only about 3 years ago that I was definitively against Macs.  I hated the site of them, I didn’t like the OS.  If I touched them, it burned my flesh…etc.  But something changed.  I don’t really know what.  For about the past year or so I have found myself wanting to convert to a Mac owner/user.  I will almost always be a Windows user still just for the games, but when it comes to average computer use and work, it seems like working on Mac would be so much nicer.  In fact the only thing that has kept me from converting has been game support, and now with Boot Camp there really is no excuse for me. I was doing my daily blog scroll when I came across a post by Thomas Hawk about his secret switch to Apple Hardware.  His little review is basically the final straw.  My new credit card gets here in a couple days and I will be purchasing a 17″ Mac Book Pro as soon as I activate it.  I have a feeling it will be very useful for my web design business, and I can probably use it as a business expense as long as I consult my accountant about it.  I have actually been preparing to switch for the past couple weeks by frequenting blogs such as Think Secret, Mac Rumors, and Apple Insider.  I’ve also been gathering up software from Mac Heist even though there is no computer to put it on yet.  That should be changed very soon though.  I also keep an eye on MacZOT! for any interesting software that I could find useful in the very near future.  I will make sure to take pictures of the unboxing when it occurs.
