Happy Birthday MACcoy!

I can't think of too many people I know well who don't know that a few months ago I got a MAC. Two months ago today actually. Yes, I have been "converted" and my MAC friends are now working to fully assimilate me into their all MAC all the time world. I must admit there are so many things I love about "MACcoy" - let's start with the fact that I was basically "required" to name him. Not sure why I think my MAC is a him - perhaps his cold steel frame....I digress. Back to what I love about MACcoy (as in the real).

1) He's always on and rarely requires a reboot - I've estimated my time savings per day to be somewhere around an hour based on being able to open and shut the lid with everything right where I left it.

2) He's super-fast - normally not a quality I look for but in the case of a computing device it's very cool.

3) He let's me take funny pics of myself - now if he could only help me with judgment on which ones NOT to post to Facebook :)

4) He's really smart about devices I plug into him and rarely tells me I need to find the driver - he just goes and finds it for himself. Self sufficiency is always good.

So that's the up-side of a MAC from my perspective. The downside, no more 15 minute coffee breaks while I "boot up" in the a.m.
