As a self-described young creative, James Coleman says he and his people have little use for a Windows computer these days.
He’s a popular but largely unsuccessful graphic designer that calls a French Quarter hotdesk an office.

Which is why the 29-year-old paused earlier this year when he went to throw his old Packard-Bell from the North Betoota’s Astoria Boulevard pedestrian bridge into oncoming traffic – he’d just treated himself to a new MacBook Pro.

“So I stopped myself,”
“Rather than hoik that heavy old bitch off the bridge and through the windscreen of a speeding Volkswagen, I carried it home and played a death match. I knew I’d made the right choice when my Elite Teutonic Knights carved through the Aztecs like the common cold did. I will keep my Windows rig forever.”
