# Open Note to Seth Godin

Seth:

Typical notes about how we don't know each other, blah, blah, blah.

On point, [your comment on the PC](http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/02/fix_your_comput.html). You said:

> I had to use a PC today in order to run Exact Target to do a mailing. I was stunned and astonished at how much the experience has degraded since my last exposure.

I know what you mean. But I am stuck.

I could mortgage myself and use a Mac. I would kill for a [Powerbook](http://www.apple.com/powerbook/) in any size. I think they are cool. I love Apple.

Truth is, I work for Windows Regime. I have a mortgage and two kids. My disposable income does not exist.

I would love to say that I have tried the alternative, but Linux Desktops don't cut it for me. I want a machine that is dead sexy. I want an OS that gets it.

I want a Mac. And I can't have one.

I can have Firefox on Windows, but that's just not the same.

Thanks for the Firefox Evangelizing...and for reminding that the OS I use isn't sexy.

Sorry Scoble.

Stephen
