The Hardware
Image bykimberlykvThe start of a great Reuben is in the rye bread.
Rye bread is a dense bread that is full of complex flavors and comes in many different variations.
Think of rye bread as your machine hardware.
Choose your bread wisely and you will be rewarded in the end.
I’m obviously talking about your operating system.
Your OS can be gourmet, bland, or just the way you like it.
A fresh spread of sauerkraut will always taste better than one that has been sitting for days.
As important as sauerkraut is, it really isn’t the meat of why you use your box.
Corned beef is the reason you eat a Reuben.
Corned beef is typically brisket that soaks in a brine until it is almost pickled.
What does that mean for you?
Applications that are cured to perfection and satisfy your every need.
Everyone has a different idea of what their perfect applications are but when it comes down to it.
A sandwich with just rye bread and sauerkraut isn’t very good.
A Reuben calls for lots of Swiss cheese.
Your drivers and firmware hold your machine together.
With crappy drivers your operating system and hardware can have major problems.
It isn’t an afterthought but it also isn’t as important as the cheese.
Your dressing is your monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
The dressing is very closely tied in with the bread you picked and in some cases, i.e.
a notebook, it is inseparable from the hardware.
