Last Call for XP

Oh, I'm a Mac guy in the diaspora. I still feel deeply connected to Macs, and I'm a little bummed that we made the decision to invest back into the Windows world at a point where we could have pretty easily made the switch. But I realized the responsible thing to do was to invest in an actual backup solution and the simple fact was that I could get a technically comparable but less aesthetically desirable laptop AND a more than adequate backup option for the same money I would have spent on a single Mac system and adding reliable backup to that would have broken the budget. It was a tough decision, but in the end, as much as I love Mac, I love my data more.

Maybe I'll just try Linux of some stripe on the laptop.
