The age old debate of using a desktop or a laptop is in my psyche once again. I’ve been biased towards desktops for a long while. I remember going to Macworld when I was like 8 (although it was just for a brief instance-run in a grab a forgotten brick cell phone), and gawking at all the computers, most of which happened to be a desktop. They didn’t have laptops back then and the Apple computer we had, was a desktop. That is when my bias for desktops began.

I have been looking at macbook’s recently because I am constantly on the mac and haven’t turned my desktop rig on in several months. As I was talking to my alter ego last night/this morning, he said he was on his couch and typing; I said I was at my desk (wanting to be reading/working in the bed). I wouldn’t say it was envy, but more of a simplicity. I want to use my desktop, but I just don’t have any need to use it. I have all the programs I need on the mac. I guess the only thing I anticipate is when starcraft 2 comes out, probably the only reason I would/will keep the desktop.

I guess this will probably be the farewell post to my desktop. It was fun while it lasted and boy was it fun putting all the pieces together. May your quad core compute for many years to come.
