I wrote this like a year ago. I’m posting it now.

Almost a year ago I bought a shiny new MacBook. 13.3 in and tricked out to the maxx. That’s right 2 x’s. This is the closest thing I’ll ever do to a published review of OS X.

loof: Pretty seriously, I’ve had about as many problems with my Mac as Windows.

Adam: you’ve got the first aluminum one
I wonder if that’s what it is
is it mostly hardware?

loof: Dunno

Adam: or what were your other ones

loof: iTunes, random beachballing , the sleep crash

Adam: what happened with itunes?

loof: it stops playing and locks up

Adam: the sleep crash I can’t recreate–you should take it in, seriously
(with that power adapter)

loof: I’m thinking about it

Adam: really?!
you didn’t buy all that apple care for nothing

loof: yeah, it’s happened a few times
other random annoying crashes too.
and finder is slow as shit
click a folder…wait wait wait….ok here are your files!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy with it. The UI is nice and there is a lot of polish in the OS (well maybe not Snow Leopard so much) but I don’t feel like it’s fundamentally better than Windows.

Adam: over christmas, use mine and see if you’ve got all the same problems
I haven’t had any of those
well, for me, but for you

loof: A lot of it started after SL really
Maybe I should follow your lead and not update. Perhaps that’s the Mac way?
It just works! (So don’t fuck with it okay?)
