So Damon (aka Peter)
So Damon (aka Peter) was picked to be part of this big new Apple marketing campaign, the "Switch" campaign.I've already seen him on TV once, the first commercial after a break in the 4th round of the US Open. Friends have seen him quite a few times.
And there's reaction, too - mostly positive, but with one hilariously notable exception. Check out the roasting that Pete gets at the hands of The Register. He got the bitchy David Spade treatment.
He and I are also doing a team blog over at blogspot called Mac OS X: The Search for OS Canaan. Since he had an above average knowledge of windows systems and I had an above average knowledge of linux systems, and we're both making the switch, we thought it would be a good idea. Looks like the readership is picking up a bit - thanks to both the commercial and to Ev linking to it.
Overall my switch is going well. There have been a couple of places
where I've made it harder than it really has to be. But I've already
retired one of my laptops and soon I might be able to retire a second
one as well (both old, both mostly broken).
