Dear Microsoft,
We have been together for a long time. Windows was my first operating system. Thank you, for the years we spent together, in Redmond working on the developing Windows, hand in hand. You put food on my table, you kept my heat on, we had parties. I do enjoy the commercials you have made, with Bill, Steve, and Brian.What the hell was this one about Windows 7 parties? That was lame. and it was just another sign for me, a signal, a beacon from another planet calling out to me.
I hope that you do not see this as sudden, I’ve been slipping away for some time now. It was hard, really hard to leave Internet Explorer, Office, and Outlook, and now my boat has traveled to the other shore, my rocket has taken me to that other planet. Sure, there will be bumps along the way, as I adjust to my new home. When I miss you, I can easily pull out my Windows 7 within my new environment. I would not be surprised if you don’t even notice I have left, until you hear the rumble of my Rocket, taking me to the world of Apple, into the world of Steve Jobs.
My new iMac is bigger, stronger, faster, and immaculately dressed in brushed aluminum. I’ve patiently waited for you to change, I’ve been faithful, I’ve championed you with all my breath until there was none left in my lungs. None left in my heart, but memories.
It’s you, not me.
My husband has gracefully carried me into the other world, and I am excited, elated, and exhilarated with the move. I am forever grateful and thankful for the Snow Leopards (the OSX is the new oxo), the giant 27″screen (HD with 2560-by-1440 resolution), 2.8ghz Intel Core i7, and the 8 gigs of rock hard, ram. We spent the night together, migrating my old apps, and he taught me about some new ones. I now have at my fingertips, all of this and a magic mouse.
Best regards,
Ravenelle
P.S.
Torley you are the best. Thank you for this wonderful surprise, and picking me up in the rocket to this wonderful, and new world. I know I am in good hands, but please be patient, I am new, it’s my first, my first Mac.
I love you.
