Goodbye PC

After what seemed an eternity on Windows machines, I moved to Mac mid 2009.
For me this was a big deal: when I started my first 3D company in 1993 I was torn between Apple (Quadra) and Commodore Amiga (3000T). The latter being about 10% of the Apple investment, it didn’t take me too long to get the Amiga 3000T, 3D software (Imagine3D 1.1) and video stuff.
Since that day, I have been keeping an eye on the Mac but going forward, the market got dominated by PCs. The same was true for my clients so I went from Amiga to PC in 1996.

And now … I'm looking happily at my first MacBookPro and I can still remember the first moments of introduction ... 20 years of Windows leave a mark and some stains but the migration was painless.

My old PC is puffing and growning, biting its last bytes as I'm moving the left over files to either recycle bin or my Mac via ftp ... only minutes to go before the last bit bytes the dust.
