Remember way back when someone finally convinced you to make the switch from Windows to Mac? Go ahead and throw away the Advil, they said. Headaches will be a thing of the past. Everything just works! It’s like magic! You just open the box and turn the thing on and away you go! Never again will you waste an entire day trying to get one device to talk to the other. Just put them in a room together and they’ll settle their own differences like reasonable adults. With the countless hours you used to spend deciphering entries in your INI files or scouring your registry settings, you’ll have more time to devote to the important things in life — your family, your unfinished novel, preparing wholesome meals, finally learning Spanish, digitizing all your VHS porn. Your whole life will be forever changed, because every single Apple product performs every imaginable function with such efficiency and intuition that even the most brain-dead simpleton couldn’t possibly help becoming an overachieving model of efficiency, creativity and productivity. I mean, look at Merlin Mann. For god’s sake, why would you buy another Windows machine?! You’re wasting your life! Don’t do it! Liberate yourself from the self-serving shackles of the troubleshooting industry! Luke! Come to the Light Side!
Remember that?
Yeah.
That person was an asshole.
