I was a pc user for years and had all the same excuses why I would not want a Mac. After upgrading to Vista and all the issues it caused on my computer I decided to try a Mac. I have had my Mac now for several months and will never go back to a pc.

I know a lot of people don't like Macs, but they really are quite good computers. Just because they're not PCs and they're different doesn't make them bad. In fact, I'd argue that those differences made them A LOT better. Just my $.02....for what it's worth.

My next laptop will be Mac IF and only IF thay can come up with a model that will survive the life in a rollaboard. Right now, their shell is just too wimpy. With respect to performance, a mac will beat a PC any day of the week. I also hope that NC Software will make a mac version of the APDL for the IPhone - that will bring me to the store at least...

once you go Mac you never go back! I have a Mac and a PC and the PC runs slow gets pop ups all the time bogs down and crashes and basically is a POS. Every three months it must be formatted and have windows installed again.
The mac just runs and runs and runs. There is nothing I can do on windows that you can't do on Mac. Windows makes you buy all their software. Mac has Open office that will run all windows office products.
iphone apps are installed with third party software, ifuntastic is what I use. It unlocks the phone and you just drag and drop the apps you want on the phone. So easy a caveman can do it!
