As a "SQL Server guy" first and foremost, I often have to defend my use of a Mac both as a travel and presentation laptop, and as my primary development workstation. Today over on my work-related blog, I penned a story explaining my experiences, why I chose to switch platforms for much of my work, and what kind of problems this has caused for me. It occurred to me tonight that, since I am doing a good portion of my SQL Server development from a Mac, that it might be interesting to some of the readers over here on at least one angle. If you are thinking about getting a MacBook for travel, or a Mac Pro / iMac for day-to-day usage, or just want to laugh at what a helpless fanboy I've become, please feel free to read my story.
If you want to comment or ask questions here instead of on my employer's web site, that is fine too. You can also e-mail me directly at aaron DOT bertrand @ gmail. (Sorry, but I'm still scared of dirty, rotten e-mail harvesters.)
