Over the years, I have coped with many frustrations with the Windows PC world. Stability, performance, and consistency has always plagued my working environment throughout my IT career. It just drives me crazy when things don't work, and I find myself wasting time, tinkering.

Back when I worked at the School District, I was an avid mac user, managing Xserv environments, and toting around a decently performing Powerbook G4 with me everywhere. When I began to work with the Supreme Court, I found myself in an exclusively Windows environment, not a Mac to be found. Over the years, I adapted, and ended up on PC - Windows XP, Windows 2003 as my primary work stations.

Since joining PHXX, my primary workstation has been a Dell Inspiron 9400, Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz, 2 gigs of ram, 100 gig 7200 RPM hard drive, 256 meg NVIDIA 7900GS - Windows Vista Business.

After dealing with Vistas crap for about 3 months (I "upgraded" from Windows XP) - I decided it was time for a change of scenery... maybe even a return to my roots...

I purchased my new machine last week. Simply put, it's a beautiful thing. Everything just works. More on my love affair with Leopard later.
