Sometimes I feel like Vito Corleone, who complains that he couldn't get out of the mob, no matter what he did. "They keep pulling me back in", I think is the line. Well, here I go again, responding to my friend, Carlos Leyva, who has switched to the Mac, and is complaining about the pain. Carlos, Carlos. I know that Apple, and the coolness, and the pretty box, and the gorgeous interface, are all very pretty. But, was it worth it? What have you gained? I agree that a switch will never happen for most of us. If it occurs, the real switch will be to open source. (See previous post). Vive La Change...Vive La Difference.
That's not Vito Corleone, complaining about not be able to leave the mob; its his son, Michael, and the line comes in the regrettable Godfather pt. 3.
Vito liked being in the mob.
Michael was a little conflicted.

Thanks for the correction, Steve. I must have been having a "Junior Soprano" moment. :-)
