Ten years of Mac

It's a big anniversary this weekend: it's ten years since I started using a Mac as my main computer.

Over the years I've lost the fervour of an evangelist, and will rarely try and persuade anyone to buy a Mac, but I'm always pleased when they do.

The reasons for buying one then are just as relevant today. Here's an elegant machine that not only runs Microsoft Office, but also is spiritually very similar to the "big iron" computers that I specify and develop software for at work. It's a system that has always made me smile and feel at home.

I think it's fair to say buying that PowerBook G4 was a good move.
