12 step program to go from Microsoft to Apple

I am on step 11.

Step 1: Buy vista an become convinced that not only will things not get better but they will only get worse.

Step 2: Stop thinking that your Mac friends are delusional and imagine that they might be on to something

Step 3: Stop thinking about all the problems you might have in moving over to the Mac and start thinking about how much fun you will have

Step 4: Realize that your relationship with Microsoft is like a bad marriage. That you have grown apart and have different objectives.

Step 5: Go to the Apple Store and get that “feel good” experience/ Like being in love again.

Step 6: But Mac magazines to read on airplanes and notice all the people that become friendly

Step 7: Start hanging out at Apple Stores and also going to the Apple web site. Download iTunes you do not already have it and maybe also try Safari.

Step 8: Stare at a photo of Bill Gates for a longtime and then at a photo of Steve Ballmer for even longer.

Step 9: Start figuring out which Mac you will buy/

Step 10: Do the deed. Buy your Mac

Step 11: Have doubts and uncertainty as you try to make the Mac act like a PC

Step 12: Surrender to bliss
