Mike Clark

I'm a wannabe switcher. Ask anybody who knows me and they'll tell you it's true. Really. I've tasted the Kewl-Aid and it's yummy. Reality distortion field? Consider me ultra-warped.

See, I've already taken the leap, mentally. But I made a public and personal pledge that I'd wait for the new 15" PowerBook. You know, the one with all the 12" and 17" goodies, but that's not too small and not too big. Well, it wanted to be mine yesterday. Indeed, it has been relentlessly seeking me since we met on the Internet. And yesterday we were to finally meet in person.

And as I watched the WWDC Keynote fed by satellite into a big-screen at my local Apple Store, I was so ready. Panther? Great! iChat AV? Killer! XCode? Oh baby! G5? Stunning! New 15" PowerBook? <deafening silence> New 15" PowerBook? <sobbing> Come on, Steve, you brought me this far now please let me buy something before I leave! Or just say something -- anything! -- about the medium-sized laptop that could. We could have had a good life together... starting today.

I'm Mike and I'm a wannabe switcher.
