Well, this may prove to be an interesting experience, or at the very least, ground-breaking for me at least. Today’s post was created on a MacBook!

Not just any MacBook - what makes this moment far more special (aside from moving towards attaching my Windows computers to a long anchor chain unattached to a seafaring vessel) is that this particular MacBook used to belong to my late sister-in-law. She was on a Mac long before I started to have fainting spells, inner cranial drum solos, and frustration beyond the level attained being trapped in an elevator with ambient nature sounds on a loop. All that due to my buying a computer with an early version of Windows Vista, an operating system that should have led to firing squads for anyone associated with the blighted development and rollout.

Ironically, I started my computing life on an Apple, but had to switch to Windows when I was a Realtor in B.C. I survived for years, until the cursed day I “upgraded”, to Vista.

But, I ramble - let’s just hope that this is a return to happier days for Mrs. That Dan Guy and I, MTDG having to endure countless howls of anguish from my basement office space. That’s the nicest thing I can say about what she has heard over the years.

So, this is tremendously cool on many levels. I am back on Mac, and I have a little piece of my sister-in-law that will be with me every day.

My first Tweet went flawlessly earlier this morning - let’s see how this blog posts!

Onwards, upwards, and blow this out yer arse, Windows Vista!!!

Chow for now...

Hooray for Apple! The money you will save on not having to fend off viruses will afford you a lifestyle the likes of which you never dreamed possible.

Bittersweet honey, bittersweet.

Indeed, MTDG. Not the way I would have wanted this to happen...

A cyber-saint, based on my experience so far!
