So far I’ve had to share my PC with my little brother. That meant always having to keep a separate partition for Windows XP, keeping antivirus software up to date and performing mundane maintenance tasks I’ve never had to perform on a Linux system. That also meant constantly having to reinstall GRUB manually each time Windows messed up and I have to reinstall the bitch.
Two months back I got myself a MacBook and learnt my way around the Mac OS. It didn’t take long, since the Mac OS is a UNIX under the hood. I set up my system with all the compilers and text editors I needed using MacPorts. I transferred all my personal data from the PC to the Mac and started using it for most of my programming and reading tasks.
Unfortunately, another problem cropped up. I had a wired internet connection, and my router didn’t allow attaching two computers to it via ethernet cables. This made using the web on both the PC and the Mac impossible, and so the MacBook didn’t see much use.
Until now. I finally bought myself a new Wi-Fi router. Now I can use my beloved MacBook as I see fit. No more sharing, no more Windows and wireless pr0n in the bathroom.
Totally 1337.
