You guys might as well know it. I started PC and never looked back. I did resist windows for a while, as I did not like the entire concept, and the whole operating systems that went with it...

Just like it was supposed to do, I have been away from the working code for so long, I have become the mindless baboon clicking on pictures that I was brainwashed to be...

Ooooo! A smilely face... I think i'll click it.... duh!

I was a coder for many years, still dabble, especially in the UNIX world, but boy has it been a while.

I dont' hate Windows. In fact I think it is a very good thing because it made the PC workable for all. However, Windows has tried to become so simple that it has created countless other problems, bloatware and memory hog are two that come to mind.

It is the inefficient use of memory that kills me the most. My coding was always neat and tried to make the best use of both memory and processing speed. Windows does as long as you have tons of memory and then their programs don't want to release it, a problem caused by our instant gratification society.

Since Mac is based on Unix it must use memory carefully, else Unix will burp the and program will stink!
