bigjim.org: Finally Switching to the Mac

  • Jim · 5 months ago
    My first issue. The Drobo is formatted in NTFS and the Mac can only read to that, not write.

    You know the simpler answer is to NOT try to use a mac. You do exclusively windows work dude. Why do you insist that fancy new and shiny square peg is ever gonna fit that round hole?

    Also, why aren't you playing WoW anymore? Are you spending all your time trying to make macs play with windows?

    I enjoy the Mac much more dude. I want to use a Mac exclusively and would love to have a job where I could. Trust me, if I was like you and had a work PC and a home computer that was just for that it'd be a Mac. I'm trying to come up with something where when I leave the house and come there or go anywhere I still can work or play.

    I'll be playing WoW again, just taking some time off. With the house move I got busy for a couple weeks, was either working or doing stuff around here and got out the habit. I have it on the Mac and will be playing again. Probably not as much as I was but I did enjoy it.

    And my Mac isn't fancy new, it's almost 2 years old :(

    My switching experiment failed pretty quickly. I realized that my livelihood depending on work in Windows and doing that via a VM or even just in Boot Camp was less than optimum.

    I'm going to write a longer post on the direction I'm heading soon. Still love my Mac and using it as my 'personal' computer. Windows for work.
