Winferiority

With all the geeks using Macs, I discover I have a Winferiority Complex.

There's been a lot of that going around. Thankfully, it's very easily treated these days.

Hey. You should _get_ a Mac. Especially given your Wificulties (Jargon Watch alert!) at B-Con. Switch, as they say. A colleague just got a new G5 and it's beautiful. I thought my Powerbook G4 was well designed.

Thanks for your Poptech confblog. I offered, but nothin' doin'. I went two years ago or so, so I can't complain.

If you run into Scott Kirsner, be sure to say hi. He's a Fast Company type and is posting occasional entries from Poptech in FC Now. And if you can sing praise of my confblogging, I'm looking to do more. Confblogger for hire!

I (heart) Camden. Make sure you read some Edna St. Vincent Millay while you're there. I think she's a saint; if not, she should be.

P.S. When I asked why you didn't say more after the politiblog session at B-Con, I didn't mean that you say too much, I meant that I thought you had more to say. Just to clarify.

Heath, I did run into Scott. I will certainly sing your praises to him, although I don't believe for a minute that that's at all necessary.

At least you don't have to have a Mac to do decent legal music now.

It is actually incredible, I have used PCs for the last 15 years and just moved to a 17" Powerbook G4 that I love. I notice most of my friends either have macs or are changing into macs. The winferiority complex is real, especially when they cannot get such toys as an isight.

I have no idea how Apple market share is evolving but just by talking to everybody, I would say it is soaring.

Oh, how I wish I had a mac... how I wish...

Instead i just have Mac Envy to go with my Winferiority Complex.
