Boy! Times have changed.

It's been ages, since I've felt the overwhelming urge to sit down and blog. But tonight, I decided that I need to start using my macbook to justify the crazy amount of money that I spent for a toy. Why do I call it a toy. I have a work laptop that I use for most everything. I also have a home desktop with Windows 10 that should suffice for my basic home use, which consists of paying bills, and browsing the web. I also have a personal laptop with Windows 10 that I bought 3 years ago, so that I would have a laptop that I could take to conference rooms, since my new job did not provide laptops. We just had terminals, so I could login to my work computer from any machine. At the time, it seemed like the cost was worth the convenience. Unfortunately, I only stayed at that job 5 months.

So, when I moved on to my current company, I used my laptop for home stuff and crafting. But I've grown more and more frustrated with Windows 10. It takes 30 minutes to an hour to get all the updates, when I brave turning the laptop on every other month or so. Also, in the past year or so, I've been watching training Videos on Amazon AWS and most of the time the instructor is using a Mac. That sparked my curiosity, so I turned to Youtube to learn more about Mac. 10 years a go, I would have never changed. I was a .Net developer and I needed all my very big and clunky dev tools, like Visual Studio. Now, I don't do any development. Most of my work is around managing a development team. So, my main reason to stay with windows has gone. Windows 10 frustrates me and seems like it has all this extra junk. I just want to get online and browse the web or manage my budget from a spreadsheet.

To that is my rambling post for tonight.
