Switch 2002

I love my new Mac. If I was in one of those great Apple "Switch" commercials my soundbite would probably be

I used Windows machines for seven years, but once I got my own place and didn't live with an engineer anymore, it quickly became apparent that I could no longer run Windows. I mean, it's a dairy product: it goes bad really fast and you have to reinstall the whole operating system. OS X just works without constant tweaking and reconfiguration. My name is Dinah Sanders and I'm a software product manager.

However, there is one issue with the Mac. Games. This faux Switch ad nails the problem. Vicious, but funny and, sadly, only slightly exaggerated. I'm in better shape than most since my two favorite games are available for the Mac: Civilization and The Sims. I do miss Caesar, Pharoah and Cleopatra though. (Yes, it's true; I'm a sucker for the genre I describe as "project manager games").

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
