Hint, Hint: Being a Switcher is almost as kewl as being Slash-Dotted.
Don’t look at me that way. I’m going to enjoy my 15-minutes, er, 30-seconds of fame while it lasts.
About Daddy: My dad is a respectable guy and the Win2k machine that I built for him works okay (except for when he wants to play his golf games). I’m sure that if he had the money, he would buy a Mac. My missionary influences are starting to get to him. Maybe I need to buy my father an eMac with an apology note attached since I kinda dissed him in a national television commercial. Regardless, I love ya dad :)
The question everyone is asking: I wasn’t expecting the slew of e-mail or telephone calls that I received on Saturday. To save some time, here is how I was chosen for the Switch campaign: I emailed Apple my story. Ta-da!
Even a small town guy can tell his story and further prove that, yes, the Switchers *are* real people.
Life Post Windows: I may be a Mac man, but I have major respect for the open-source community. Many hermit hours of mine have been spent within the glory of Linux; Apache is my preferred web server; and I rarely browse with anything other than Mozilla. Apple’s implementation of open-source initiatives was one of the main draws for me to Mac OS X.
Just a reminder to all the ladies, give your special geek a 6-pack of his favorite caffeine-enhanced beverage sealed with a kiss. For the Techno Talking Babes®, e-mail me. :)
My pillow is calling me, so I’m off to dream of what it’s like to live as Charlie. I got a golden ticket and the candy bar tastes more like fruit than cocoa.
