Apple Anonymous - The 12 Step Plan

It is official. I am an APPLE addict.
I tried giving up my laptop. Leaving it at work. Not using it when i got home, but the addiction overcame me. First i started checking mails on the MAC MINI at home, then i resurected an old G4 and now i have brought the laptop home.

I am joining the AA (Apple Anonymous) and taking their twelve step plan:
For all of you like me, i am joining their programme.

Step 1: Honesty
After many years of denial, recovery can begin when with one simple admission of being powerless over Apple -- for Appleholics and their friends and family.

Step 2: Faith
It seems to be a spiritual truth, that before a higher power (Steve Jobs) can begin to operate, you must first believe that it can.

Step 3: Surrender
A lifetime of self-will run riot (PCs) can come to a screeching halt (Blue Screen of death), and change forever, by making a simple decision to turn it all over to a higher power (Apple).

Step 4: Soul Searching
There is a saying in the 12-step programs that (disk) recovery is a process, not an event. The same can be said for this step -- more will surely be revealed.

Step 5: (File System) Integrity
Probably the most difficult of all the steps to face, Step 5 is also the one that provides the greatest opportunity for growth.

Step 6: Acceptance
The key to Step 6 is acceptance -- accepting character defects exactly as they are and becoming entirely willing to let them go (The ONE BUTTON MOUSE).

Step 7: Humility
The spiritual focus of Step 7 is humility, asking a higher power (Steve J) to do something that cannot be done by self-will or mere determination (PLAY WMV FILES FOR JOBS SAKE!).

Step 8: Willingness
Making a list of those harmed (Microsoft, AVID) before coming into recovery may sound simple. Becoming willing to actually make those amends is the difficult part.

Step 9: Forgiveness
Making amends may seem like a bitter pill to swallow, but for those serious about recovery it can be great medicine for the spirit and soul. (BOOTCAMP)

Step 10: Maintenance (Repairing Permissions)
Nobody likes to admit to being wrong. But it is absolutely necessary to maintain spiritual progress in recovery.

Step 11: Making Contact ( MobileME)
The purpose of Step 11 is to discover the plan JOBS as you understand Him has for your life.

Step 12: Service (APPLECARE)
For those in recovery programs, practicing Step 12 is simply "how it works."
