I have spent the day in front of 5 new PC screens. Somehow I managed to stumble into the position of being the least ITC inept person in our office following recent staff changes.
After some protest from me I was informed that due to a force of hand we need to change over to a Windows OS. And eventually the news came that this meant losing the Apple hardware too.
Thanks to the recent ‘promotion’ to least inept the job of setting up these machines has fallen into my lap. What I have learnt from the day is that though setting up a pre-installed copy of XP and Office is painless enough, all that follows is faff, faff and frustration. What I have gained from the day is a reminder of the sheer wonder of Mac OS X and Apple machines, a renewed appreciation that I have access to them, and a greater determination to keep on saving for their slightly heavier but great value price tag.
I rage Windows PC.
I heart Apple Macintosh.
