I miss blue screens.....

I have been using a windows machine in my day to day coding activities for many many years and it has served me well. We understand each other in esoteric ways, we love each other, hate each other but always depend on each other. But 3 years ago, I shamefully cheated my companion.

All around me people that I knew and trusted were moving on to newer and flashier Apple Mac machines, and I simply felt left out. I felt old and tired and stubbornly stuck in the past. My resolve slowly weakened and waned. I finally gave in and purchased a flashy 27" iMac machine.

Wow! It was like a whirlwind romance which slowly grew into a devastating tornado. As time went on slowly but surely the spinning balls kept spinning and I was never sure wether I should wait or reboot. One fine day while being mesmerised by the colorful spinning ball, I realised what I had lost. I miss blue screens......I miss blue screens...they were final, there was no false hope, no illusion of something happening, it was simple, honest and to the point.....I miss blue screenss.....
