For the first time in my life, I bought Office. Never once, going back to my first computer in 1990, have I ever bought a copy of Office. I always used borrowed copies or cracked copies or corporate copies or anything and everything to avoid paying for it. But today my copy of Office: Mac 2008 Home & Student Edition arrived, ushering in a new era.
Back in my Windows days I NEVER bought software. I think nearly everything on my computer was illegitimate, including Windows itself. But when I switched to Mac back in 2002, I started actually buying the software I used. Something about the higher quality of Mac shareware started me down the road and now here I am in 2008 and I own every bit of software on my machine legitimately.
My teenage self is screaming.
