Back to Mac, albeit so unwillingly. Yeah yeah I hear you all loud and clear, "BUT TIM you bashed OS X just a post ago, and we all told you it was a phase and mood swing", but what can I say to that? Well, I gave Windows my best shot, and went back to Vista. Tried so hard, just ever so hard to make it work for me, but it didn’t.

> It is as if trying to make up with a lover one has cheated upon! No matter what one does or says or tries, nothing will work. 

Vista would not take me back. Oh lordy I tried, and tried. And tried. If you can believe it, I tried eight times to reformat and get Vista to work with me, but every time the same problem would occur. I could not for the life of me fathom why. I traced it all down to one culprit, DivX, oh you blasted, miserable DivX installer 6.6, I wish I could really strangle myself after this discovery.

But remember what I said about OS choices? You make them based on the programs, and the ease of use you find in them. And a program I use heavily in OS X, I found had no equivalent (even close to it even) in Windows. That one is *tan tan tarara \*drum roll\** [Unison](http://www.panic.com/unison/?ref=tim.sodhis.org). Just the most powerful and intuitive Newsreader I have seen! The four views it offers makes browsing newsgroups and downloading just so much easier!

As I have recently purchased an account with [Eweka](http://www.eweka.nl/?ref=tim.sodhis.org), I was in urgent need of a News client, and none available on Windows even make the cut. Not even remotely close. So, I made the choice, to move to OS X. Back to OS X. Yes. Sure I won’t be able to work with MPEG2s, but that is what the other Vista machine (connected to the TV) is for. Sure I won’t have ACDSee, but I will have Adobe Bridge, sure I won’t be able to use [µTorrent](http://www.utorrent.com/?ref=tim.sodhis.org), but I will work with the [Transmission](http://transmission.m0k.org/?ref=tim.sodhis.org) client till one is released for OS X. No webcam in MSN, ok my love of my life uses Skype too, and so does me lil Bro, so I will make do with that. Limited Exchange support, so I will make do with what I can get. etc etc. 

So yes, I am back on a Mac, and here I am updating once again with Qumana. Oh yes, in the move back I lost the "Domain.sites" file for my [photo page](http://photos.sodhis.net/?ref=tim.sodhis.org), so I will have to remove it the next time I update and replace it with a new one. So stay tuned for that! Any pix you guys wanna download, better make sure you do already, for they mightn’t be available after the update (might choose a different set of pix). 

So tally ho chaps! Till later!
