Jenny is thinking about possibly switching to a Mac.

... Call me stupid if you want to, but I had a bad experience with Macs at my first job, and I've just gone along with Windows ever since (even though I have bad experiences with Windows, too).

However, I'm at a point where I don't want to upgrade to Windows XP, and I don't really want to re-format my hard drive to upgrade to Windows 2000, which will only take me so far anyway. So for the first time, I will actually consider a Mac the next time I buy a computer. Especially after this week's announcements. ...

I think this is Apple's advantage right now. M$ is doing a lot of things that people aren't happy with. People are nervous about the whole DRM thing and Apple is mostly staying away from that (we'll just ignore Roxio Toast for now). At the same time, I think Macs are finally worth looking at again. There was a looong time there between college and last year where I didn't think they were. Apple always seemed just a little behind the ball. Now they seem to be working on building a better one.

(I've gotta settle down on this whole pushing people to Apple thing :))
