Can a Windows guy learn to love the Mac? You bet! David Coursey, Executive Editor, AnchorDesk Thursday, April 18, 2002 "Can a Windows-dependent technology columnist live happily as a Mac user? That's the question I am about to spend a month of my life trying to answer." That's how I started my "month on Mac" series, which now runs to seven columns. Yes, it's been three months rather than one, but I had my reasons for stretching it out. First, I spent February in the clutches of a nasty flu. Then I started worrying that I was writing about Apple too much, which makes some of my readers antsy, and decided I should spread out the columns a bit. And when I'd used up all my other excuses, I finally came to the real reason I'd extended the experiment: I like this little iMac and don't want to give it up. It's a whole lot more fun than my Windows machine, and a great creative tool for whacking out these daily columns. AT ONE POINT, I even took a G4 PowerBook up to Microsoft for a few days. Everyone ogled the cool Titanium exterior and gave me only a little guff over the operating system. As I said to one (but only one) MS product manager, "See, I'm running Office--and here's Windows 2000 running on the Mac--you have a problem with that?" As promised, I pretty much divorced myself from the PC for the past three months. Over the course of these three months, most of my computing has migrated away from it. My entire world--documents, spreadsheets, photographs, e-mail--is now on the iMac--and I'm pretty happy with things the way they are.
