I believe it was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, “Most Men Lead Lives Of Silent Desperation” (a word or two may be off here but, I don’t have time at the moment to go digging through my library…I guess I could Google it…why doesn’t someone do that and send it to me).
Anyhow, many of my co-workers can tell you that this last week I led a life of very audible desperation.
My Dell died after only 8 months!
I know I know, Dell is an awful company and I should always use Mac but, that is a different story (by the way, I want to enter yet another post into the Blogosphere stating that Dell’s consumer experience is amongst the worst I have ever encountered, email me for details). For search ranking reasons I shall do the following:
I hate Dell, Dell does not care about its customers. Dell is evil. Never buy a dell. Michael Dell, if you are listening, take some of those wasteful TV ad dollars and spend it on your products and your CRM because, Michael Dell, your company is doing an awful job! Dell, Dell, Dell, Dell and Dell, you suck!
Anyhow, although the crash was awful and I lost a lot of data and time, it reminded me of the works of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph “where’s” Waldo Emerson. I knew that I need not be tied to desktop data. I knew there was a better way, a more transcendent way to own data.
Enter WEB OS!!!
Google was my first stop. All of the salvageable contact and calendar items were uploaded to Gmail and Gcal and I was on my way!
Never again will I be shackled to the tyrannical ways of the local desktop. No, the centralized desktop is the way for me!
…and did I mention I hate Dell!!!
