Mac Bound At Last

by Erin on August 9th, 2007

I’ve finally gone and done it. Well gone and decided to do it actually. My laptop is dying a slow and painful death consisting of random turn offs in the midst of a record-breaking kill/death ratio in Call of Duty — clearly this is unacceptable. So I began shopping for a new system. Not a state of the art gaming rig by any means, but something that would provide me with the new media flexibility and still allow me to enjoy a fragfest now and again.

So I’ve decided to buy a Mac.

Yes, that’s correct, I’ve gone over to the darkside of computing, away from 20 years with the portly boring nerd and onto a hot, tempestuous affair with the cool indie kid of Mac. I feel a little guilty really, but I’ve been stealing moments on a friend’s G5 at work and I just can’t help it. The damn thing is hot, and frankly I’m due for a raucous new affair with technology.

Will it affect my gaming? Nahhhhh… Mac OS X isn’t exactly suffering from a dearth of blood and guts. Call of Duty is still available. I’m happy. Not to mention the fact that when the new iteration of OS X, code-named “Leopard” claws its way into the marketplace this fall, I’m going to snap it up, maximize my little Dual Core and possibily boot both Leopard and Windows.

Exciting times!
