Second Step - Mac-aholism

renegade · May 12, 2007

Hi, my name is Steve, and I am Mac-aholic.

Six months ago I switched from a Wintel laptop to a MacBook Pro laptop.

I loaded Parallels and Win-XP on it, and never really used them other than to show people I could do it.

Last week my main Windows/Intel desktop workstation died (again).

I will not get it fixed this time.

This week, my new MacPro desk workstation will arrive.

My name is Steve, and I am a Mac-aholic . . .

Anyone want to buy a copy of Parallels?

Where's the coffee and doughnuts? I refuse to listen to Macalogues without coffee and doughnuts.

Everything in moderation is my motto. I use a PC daily, but not in my home....

I feel the same, expecially with Boot Camp. I thought I would do all my gaming on Boot Camp, but I HATE Windows so much after using OS X, that I'm actually a lapsed gamer.

i converted my windows machine to linux and can suffer that if need be. Now my old Acer is staring it me and looking neglected. Let me go brush the dust off the old girl.

Mac-aholic seven steps:

1. Make sure you get *some* fresh air daily
(actually go outside, don't just sit near an open window!)
2. Eat meals a couple of times a day
3. Bathe or shower and brush your teeth at least once a day
4. Call your loved ones ~ or email ~ to let them know you're alive
5. If you find yourself getting back online after you've gone to bed, try shutting a notebook computer down and putting it in a case in the closet. (I have no deterrent suggestion for desktops.)
6. Get your work done
7. Visit Mac-Forums for moral support
;D

(Unfortunately, these steps must be taken in rapid succession, as opposed to weekly or monthly!)
