Full Metal Mac

Posted by Nick Loadholtes on 4/5/2006 filed in Apple, The coming apocalypse

Imagine this: You had the resources to out and buy a really expensive, stylish, and cool car like a Ferrari. You get it home, show it off to your friends who are green with envy. Then you rip out the engine and replace it with a lawn mower engine. Guess what, its still looks like a Ferrari, but it will never run like a Ferrari. And that would be sad.

That is how I feel about Boot Camp. Why would you buy a performance machine and then hobble it on purpose? Why not just but a cheap-o Windows machine? Why not cut the imaginary Windows umbilical cord and just use the Mac full time?

And most importantly: When did I become such a Mac snob? I think the answer is the day I realized that life doesn’t have to be complicated: you don’t have to work for your computer, the computer can work for you.

This is my Mac. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
