doesn't sound like you'll really 'always be a windows guy'. per the article, if you give up doing IT support and move to development, you'll probably be just a mac guy, at least for a while.

I was a windows guy, then a linux guy, now a mac guy, and am considering investing in a windows setup next year, as well as a new mac. i like playing in all of them, but right now, if I have to choose just one machine, it's my macbook. I can run the stuff I need to, even if it's virtualized and not 100% fast as I'd like. Even so, it's portable and gets the job done better than other laptops I've have over the past 10+ years.

Fairly true, however in some sense I will truly always be a windows guy. I learned how to use a computer on windows and I will always have a love and appreciation for microsoft because of that. I have built numerous linux setups over the years and really enjoy both gentoo and ubuntu. however owning a Mac has given me a newfound almost kid-like enjoyment to owning a computer and coding again, not to mention i love textmate! Thanks for reading and for the input! hope you'll come back and check it out from time to time since its still a very new blog.
