Another month, another Switcher

Back in September I wrote about how, after years of banter between us surrounding the subject, a former colleague of mine finally decided to see things my way and sent me the following message:

"My Gateway finally died. I'm ready to buy a Mac. Let me know which model I should get."

After jointly concluding that the eMac was the way to go for her (never once did she even mention the possibility of keeping her previous monitor, so take that, you headless iMac loons), she said she was off to the Apple Store to make her purchase and would keep me posted. But two months went by and I didn't hear a thing from her, and I was beginning to wonder if maybe things didn't happen after all.

But yesterday the following message from her found its way into my inbox:

"So far, loving my new eMac..."

I swear, as long as I live, I will never get tired of helping people find their way to the Mac platform and then having them come back and thank me for it. That's all for today. Gotta run.

Oh and by the way, here's a subtle hint: it's Tuesday.

Alright, need something less subtle? Here's this week's Garage Music column. Enjoy...
