Made the Switch to Mac

Years back I made the switch from Windows to RedHat as my desktop OS of choice. I wasn't too impressed with it as a Desktop OS and eventually migrated over to Ubuntu, which I immediately fell in love with. Last week I finally made the move to using a Mac as my preferred "desktop" operating system. After traveling from Singapore, to Alaska, and then to St. Louis, I finally have my PowerBook Pro. I didn't do the traveling - rather, my Mac was shipped from Singapore and made the journey halfway around the world.

Every time I'm on my MacBook I find myself very impressed with how smooth and fully integrated the system is. Simply put, the system is awesome! I've also installed VMware Fusion so that I can virtually run Windows from my BootCamp partition, allowing me to still run the Windows dependent programs necessary for me to get my work done as efficiently as possible.

This morning I installed a blogging client called "ecto", which I'm trying out for the first time with this posting.
