Peaks and valleys

Well, lately I've been feeling like I've been hitting a peak in my christianity and life and in that, I realize that a valley or platue is inevitable and may ensue. To delay that or prepare for that, pray with me as I try and find more ways of expressing my faith, growing and reading in my faith, and working to build my relationship closer to Christ in all things. In other news: this is a really interesting article Living on Air: A Windows guru spends two weeks with a Mac The authors ending words sum up the article fairly well:
That's not to say that every aspect of the Mac is superior to the PC. Vista's Network and Sharing Center, and especially the Network Map, is an excellent, simple, all-in-one destination for networking that Mac OS X would do well to emulate. Overall, though, Mac OS X beats Windows. There, I've said it. And lightning hasn't struck me yet.

But after living with a Mac, I can understand why people would be willing to pay the tax. Am I giving up PCs for the Mac? Certainly not. I've got multiple PCs at home, including those that run Windows XP, Windows Vista and a beta of Windows 7. And I've got one that dual-boots into either XP or Linux running Ubuntu. Replacing all those machines with Macs would be prohibitively expensive, and simply not worth the effort. As for the MacBook Air, for a portable machine, it's perfect in just about every way but one -- its price tag. Still, I've bit the bullet and am buying one, used. This isn't about productivity or getting work done; it's pure machine lust.
