I Switched- October 22, 2007 I've never owned a computer made by Apple in my life. I haven't spent more than a few minutes playing with them since 1987 when I was acting as tech support for the Macs we had at Rice. Nevertheless, I have now dumped Windows in favor of Mac OS X.

Unfortunately the first episode doesn't seem to be available on.http://www.johnmunsch.com/2007/10/pushing_daisies_is_very_good.html |
