As an OS X user, I admit I'm biased, but you have a perfectly good Windows machine right there, and it'd save you a hell of a lot of money just buying Vista instead of a brand-new computer. Also, why not just use HotDog Pro in Parallels? I really like your blog, but if you're not going to post about OS X anymore, it's gonna be hard to stay.

Be sure to go to gmail (today) to learn about their paper archive option. Also, Google has a new FREE in-home wireless internet product: TiSP. Very Cool! Fortunately they aren't biased and will continue to support MACs!

LOL--I love the reference to Hot Dog Pro. Seriously, "lack of availability" has been one of the longest perpetuated "jokes" regarding OS X. The irony is that some of the best apps out there are only available (or were originally developed for) OS X.

No, Max. April fools means I'm not dumping OS X. EVAR. :)

I was reaching for the "oh no, another bright mind sucked into the MS accretion disk" unsubscribe button when I noticed what day it was yesterday..

Damnit, Dan. I specifically didn't read my rss feeds yesterday because I didn't want to see posts like this.
It appears my logic didn't quite add up... 'cause all those gag stories were waiting for me today.
But if it's still on the market, I'll give you $100 for that macbook.

Daniel, you could have been more convincing if you hadn't gone quite so overboard (or if you reluctantly switched to Windows)(or if you switched full time to Linux).
Anyway, I hope that everyone had a chance to see the jokes that Google had yesterday. The TiSP was obviously a joke, but they had several active links you could follow for more information -- quite humerous. I thought that the printed email from Gmail was funnier.
And, if we're bidding, I'll offer $101.

True, but I was trying to do it while being transparent enough to get caught, while using some good references. If I said I was going to Linux that'd be TOO real, because that's a real option. :)
