It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

I own two Macs, and love them. But my love of Macs doesn't equal a hatred of Windows. Perhaps I'm the luckiest guy on earth, but I've rarely had any serious problems with Windows, especially since the advent of Windows 2000. At home, my client machines are Macs and the server is Windows 2000 Server, primarily because I love ASP.NET. (I also do lots of programming in Cocoa.)
In sum, I didn't switch to the Mac because of any real, imagined, or anecdotal problems with Windows. I switched to the Mac simply because it's better.
