is a Mac convert who absolutely swears that he will never go back to Windows. He a huge fan of PowerPC Macs, both on the desk and in the field, and recently got his first Intel-based Mac, a black MacBook.

• How a heavily upgraded Power Mac G4 pulled me back from the Dark Side, 2008.06.23. Seduced by a quad-core Windows gaming rig, it was a 9-year-old Power Mac that brought him back to the Mac.
• The black MacBook is a gem of a notebook, 2008.03.06. Apple's MacBook is fast, has great battery life, and is pretty well designed.
• One month Windows saga: Not all that bad, 2008.03.04. "The experiment did help me realize how lucky I am to be a member of the Macintosh community."
• A month with Windows: One Apple fanboy's experiment, 2008.02.12. Is the Mac really that much better than Windows? To find out, this Apple lover is spending a month with Windows XP and a couple of PC notebook.
• G3 and G4 Power Macs and Clamshell iBooks still useful, 2008.01.29. Intel CPUs may be blazingly fast, but the old G3 and G4 Macs have plenty of usable life left in them.
• I'm never going back to Windows, My First Mac, 2007.11.29. Early exposure to an iMac (in 4th grade) has created an obsession for older, useful Macs.
