The Klutz's Companion

摘要

I'm not saying i'm an impressionable tool of mass propaganda, but those recent Microsoft ads really got to me. While some folks hated the (short-lived) Bill Gates-Jerry Seinfeld series that kicked off the campaign, it cracked me up. It also got my attention, and the subsequent "I'm a PC" ads closed the deal: I've been thinking maybe it's time to buy a laptop. But which one? This may sound crazy, but I haven't had a Windows PC since I wrote a cover story for this magazine nearly seven years ago about the first flat-panel Apple iMac. These days, I have enough Apple laptops, desktops, iPods and iPhones to make my house look like a deranged version of an Apple Store. Like most tech snobs, I continue to believe that compared with Windows, Apple's OS X operating system is easier to use, more stable and more fun for the average joe.
