Great interview, I really enjoyed this. Very interesting to hear your story summarised in this vid, and I learned quite a bit.
Its funny though, how the new mss.com that you released never climbed back up to a high Google rank like the 1st one did, or was that because the market was so flooded by then?

I know how you feel Andrew. I made the switch to Mac 1 1/2 years ago and have never looked back. I bought an 20" iMac and recently a 13" MB Pro and they're such a pleasure to use.
Before that I was using XP and Vista which compared to OS X are nasty. So many problems; screen locking up, driver issues, random restarts and all that other rubbish. But I never get any thing of the sort with Mac except for the occasional Spinning Color Ball when I've got safari, photoshop, lightroom, illustrator, mail, itunes, photomatix all open at once and Im processing photos, lol!
I do use XP with bootcamp for work every now and again, which works fine so I don't know why anyone would want to buy a PC when, for a bit more cash you can get a beautifully designed machine that runs osx, linux and windows.

Nice post man, I do agree mostly with what you've said, I haven't read RDPD I can't give a complete opinion.
I've always wanted to read that book so I'll go buy it and let you know what I think.

Hi Andrew,
I've been reading your blog(s) since I stumbled upon your story via myspacesupport.com back in the day. And I must say that your story is truly motivational.
About 4 years ago when I was trying to figure out how to use myspace I used mss.com and came across your blog. When I read about how you were making a nice living through the internet I knew that I wanted a slice of that, and that I was not gonna do the 9-5 for the rest of my life.
So steadily I have been learning web development and continually reading your blog for motivation and incentive.
My goal is also to one day soon make a good living running websites, Im steadily learning how to develop and life has been pretty busy and exciting but I still have a fair way to go to get there.

I have some IMO great ideas but just don't know how to get them off the ground. What did you do when you first started? Getting MSS.com off the ground for instance, were you at on your own or did others around offer assistance?
I ask these questions, cause you've been there, and experienced all that kind of stuff and know what challenges there is out there.

But just so you know I don't think I would be following my vision and goals if I hadn't read your blog 4 years ago, so I just wanted to give you my sincere thanks.

Cheers,
Jason
