Am a PC snob except when it comes to all things “i”. iPod. I LONG FOR an iPhone. Why a PC snob? BC I am too broke for a Mac and I’ve not used one long enough to see the benefits.

Early mornings with a mid-day nap. Delicious. Best part of working for myself.

Keep it up girl! Eating mashups like candy while I catch up on The Prisoner.

I really enjoyed this post…I’ve been thinking about buying a laptop in recent weeks because it will help me to be a more mobile job hunter/entrepreneur. I’ve spent a good amount of time checking out prices, etc. I’ve always been a PC person with the exception of a short freelance stint on a Mac.

As I write this, I am on the fence, so to speak. I know that I would love the Mac. I think all of the cool stuff loaded on the Mac computers are awesome, including Garage Band, video editing, etc. But, there’s that part of me–out of habit–has always had a PC. I am sorry and almost embarrassed to admit this, but I will probably buy a PC out of habit. I know that a laptop PC is also a little cheaper than a MacBook, which is important to me right now. I know this is a terrible reason to buy a PC, but I bet there’s a lot of people like me out there.

I enjoyed reading your experience of buying the Mac. Who knows, maybe I’ll end up getting one. Or for the time being, I will hold off getting anything. One thing I know…I love going to the Apple Store in Chicago…a very cool shopping experience even though I don’t own a Mac or an iPod (I have a Creative Zen, which is awesome). Thanks for this post!

Like you, I was raised around PCs and used them almost exclusively, despite losing patience with Windows systems when I needed to get things done. I learned the art of backing up EVERYTHING in at least 4 different places thanks to PCs.

Then when I returned to the workforce after having my children (and after getting my degree…doh!) I got a job as a tech support agent for Apple US (I’m in Canada, so it was a bit odd) and I learned everything there was about OS X and Apple systems at that time and I was hooked. When my (now ex) husband needed to replace my home computer, I HAD to get a Macbook… and I have been pretty much Mac-o-centric ever since. My kids have a PC, though, only because the replacement cost of it is so much lower… and I’m thinking I SHOULD have just bit the bullet and bought an iMac for family use…

I am DEFINATELY a coffee person. I drink coffee all day at work… straight up for the most part. There is definately a ritual component of it (especially with the Tim Horton’s runs) in our office, and so it is a very social factor. On weekends I make coffee at home to carry with me in a travel cup while we run our errands all day… those are the days I get to try out tasty creams and sugars… And when I really want a pick me up treat… its STARBUCKS baby!!

But to get wound down at night? Its always a cup of tea…

Lastly… I am most definately a night owl. I have tried to get up early, but as the sun starts to rise later and later I find it more and more difficult. While dark at night doesn’t drag me down, dark in the morning makes me want to just stay in my warm bed… even when I have to get up. Once I am up and awake, I enjoy the quiet of the morning hours… but its the prying myself out of bed that is hard.

Coffee/Tea: do not like either, unless they are disguised so that you can no longer taste the coffee or tea. I’d pick hot cocoa with peppermint ice cream.

Can you be an early riser if you don’t wake up early? I’ll say yes. Definitely not a night owl. And I do like to wake up early – but my body doesn’t want to these days.

Office Day and Meetings Day is a good one. I don’t have to leave my office for meetings anymore (they’re always by phone), but I do tend to group my phone meetings into blocks, so that I have about one full day of meetings every week or two and leave the rest of the days for solid work sessions.

I try to choose each day to be an “office day” or a “meetings day”, which also works well.

The public transport vs bicycle choice is a great one. It’s one that (when I was working in an office, and not at home) I wished I had. I lived too far from the office to bike or walk, and there’s no public transportation system in my (very small) town. So I say kudos! to you for each bike trip you make–and yes, public transportation is still better than car. So kudos for that too!

One of the choices I make every week day is to go to work by public transport or bicycle. The last one is the better choice: better for my health, quicker, cheaper. But public transport is the comfortable choice: it’s dry, warm and reading time. So in practice, if the weather report only remotely leans toward ‘maybe rain’, I’m in public transport. It’s still better than driving a car, right?
