JUL

2008

As a User Interface programmer, I don't know what is more painful - knowing that the majority of the world still used Internet Explorer on the PC or my dentist appointment. We had to use a Windows PC for work in order to program on Internet Explorer browsers.

I was happy as a clam the day I heard that we were getting the MacBook Pro @ work with Windows running on it. Virtual Life's so much brighter and more beautiful on a Mac. It has an inbuilt camera and come with all the cool widgets that you can get easily used to - weather, calendar, post-its @ the touch of a button.

My friend once said "What I love about my MacBook Pro is, it doesn't mysteriously die on you". As someone who has had to redo lot of work from the Blue Screen Death on a PC, I totally agree with him. I was happy Linux user but I am an even happier MacBook owner. My one recommendation to fellow Mac users, get TextMate if you need an IDE. It rocks!!
