My future computing plans

I post a LOT. I know I do, and I apologize for that. It appears as though I'm addicted to writing. :P

Anyway, I've had a recent stroke of brilliant ideas concerning my future with computers. I thought I'd make it a fun list, so here goes:


  • Step One: MOVE AWAY FROM WINDOWS FOREVER
  • Step Two: Install Ubuntu on my current HP laptop (which is a crud computer and I'm never buying an HP again after reading this article provided by a TGC forum dweller named Melancholic).
  • Step Three: Buy an iMac by the end of the year (I love Mac OS X and its great use for digital media, which is what I want to get into as a career).
  • Step Four: Never use Windows again.
  • Step Five: Write blog posts on useful tips for Ubuntu and become an avid blogger on Ubuntu.
  • Step Six: Do the same thing for Mac OS X
  • Step Seven: STAY AWAY FROM WINDOZE
So yeah. As you can see, I've recently become a complete convert. Ubuntu just works on my laptop better than Windows ever did. After some tweaking, I can get it do just about anything (and more) that I could do on Windows. Its design is fantastic and its overall usability (after you explore it for a few days) is great. Mac OS X is pretty much the same deal; although you don't have as much tweaking to do out-of-the-box. Its support for video editing is fantastic. Ubuntu's getting there but it will still be a while before anything close to Mac is present in terms of media support.
