Penny Arcade, which with a shock realisation akin to finding a third foot one morning I’ve already blogged about once this week, has switched to Mac. To be precise MacBook Pro’s.
Welcome to the light grey side of computing. Have a read of Tycho’s prose on the joy of the Mac; I’m looking forward to Monday’s installment.
There has always been something illicit about playing for the other team.
Gabriel’s MacBook doesn’t arrive until… they start arriving, later this month, but save for platform-dependent gaming I’ve used my own Mac for every computing task this week. What I have ascertained is not that PCs as we know them lack good design, but that PCs as we know them have hardly any design to speak of. I’m not trying to be insulting. Use a Mac for a week, and we’ll talk again.

I don’t think that the Macintosh was inspired by ancient holy scrolls, found in a sea cave and excised from the original bible by a convocation of priests and wise men. But I do like it very much. It is extremely good at what it does, which is to say, exposing functionality.
