The tools of a Nerd
If you're a nerd like me, you definitely value your hardware. This leads me to touch on the greatest modern battle of them all Macs vs PCs. Don't worry, I'm not going to hate on anyone for their preference - I completely understand the value in appreciating something for the purposes it serves and, as most things are, the prefered useage of a particular brand of computer is, at times, situational. I used to be 100% PC and a cold hearted hater of "Apples". Now, the only PC under my roof isn't even plugged in, and I proudly power a MacBook Pro, 27" iMac, iPad, iPhone. So, when did I make the conversion? Probably about the time I started doing more work than video games... most of my gaming now is console based - and all of my development is done on my macbook pro. It makes me wonder though, 10 years from now, what will I be working on? Will it be all one preferred brand or split? Hard to say.
