It seems I have spent a good portion of my life starting. Starting school, starting work, starting driving, starting college, starting relationships, starting having kids, starting new job, starting having more kids, starting, starting, starting, etc, etc, etc.

There is nothing wrong with this, however if one gets caught up in it, one can forget to experience life. One can forget about the journey, and just look for the start and finish line. So as of today (actually a couple weeks ago, but I am just now writing about it, so we will pretend it is today) I am not going to start anything...

I am done. I am just simply done... I have a Macbook Pro, an iPod video, and a shuffle... I was happy. I needed nothing else in my world of personal computing and entertainment.

Then they came out with the iTV. hmmm, interesting but I can wait... They put gigabit and USB in the Airport extreme, hmm very cool but I can wait. The iPhone comes out with the touch interface, very sweet but I don't need a phone that sweet, I can wait...

• Me just thinking about a Mac

I went from thinking to buying! Actually have now been a VERY proud owner of a MacBook Pro for a month or two. And I Love It. Oh ya, I will not go back to my icky old PC.

Before buying a Mac I had gone almost 100% Ubuntu (for Personal use). I had loaded Ubuntu as the only OS on my primary Laptop, but still had Windows dual booting on the Desktop. So when I decided to replace the laptop, it became a no-brainier... Did consider getting a Pre-Built Linux box, but nothing came close to everything the Mac has.

Proof that internet tests are just wrong!
