Sure I have two Macs here at the house but we primarily use one of them for Video editing and the other is used for doing my Ustream show. Otherwise I am pretty much on Windows PCs 95% of the time.
I did take my Mac with me to a meeting the other night and when I made a comment that this was not my main machine I got some funny looks from the Apple users there.
Several asked why, and when I told them I am more productive in Windows they about lost their minds. But hey — to each his own. My kid uses the thing more than I do and most of the time I have to force-kill Safari or Firefox because some Javascript kills the browser. That does not happen on my Windows machine.
So when I was asked if I was going to upgrade my reply was “Why should I?” Just like I have not upgraded to Windows Vista at this point in the game there was nothing compelling enough to want to go spend the money.
I thought you might be interested in hearing about what is happening here in Spain. I’m an American who listens to your show regularly, and there is a fairly large American community here in Zaragoza, Spain. Mostly retired military folks, and a few working stiffs like me! I won and operate en English academy here.
I thought I might comment first on mobile phone service here in Spain. I think we must be pretty much like there in the States. We have really three mobile companies that offer service, and all have really the exact same prices. In fact, there is some investigation happening now about price fixing among them, but that will probably lead to nowhere. The vast majority of us also have long-term contracts with our providers, like there I think. You get a cheaper phone but you are stuck with the company usually 18 months.
If you are interested in more info, let me know. It would be fun to compare prices and services between the States and Europe.
And the show is great, by the way. I never miss it.
