B6 and Apple
 
Just made the jump to Apple. Thanks. Trying to update my app. profile and I'm getting a "popup font size error." Or something like that. Any suggestions.

Apple works flawlessly if you only need to interact with graphic artists and college students. You need to maintain a windows capability to interface with the real world, at least for the time being.

Try downloading Firefox browser and filling out the app. using that.

Seems to work with some sites that aren't Safari friendly.

Hope it helps.

Says someone who is not a mac-user. :rolleyes: Firefox works fine where Safari doesn't like to play. The only time I've had any problems on a mac is dealing with NC Software (makers of Logbook Pro). For this (or any other company that has "issues") VMWare Fusion is useful. Otherwise if you have Leopard, BootCamp comes in handy. Haven't even had problems getting Pages or Numbers to tango with Microsoft Word or Excel. :eek:

Once you go mac, you won't want to go back. Here's to 2+ years and never have I had my mac freeze or crash on me. :D Can't say the same for ANY Dell, HP, Compaq, Toshiba, Sony, etc that I've used or had.

Whatever.........

The majority of people that are Apple users are fed up with windows and switched over.

The majority of people that make IGNORANT statements about Apples really don't have the first clue as to what they are talking about. Most of their exposure to a MAC has been to pop into the apple store.

But nice try.

Did the switch about 3 weeks ago. Holy crap, this thing is awesome. Why I ever put up with Windows and all the Anti-Spyware, Virus and other crap they are prone too, is beyond me.

I'll never go back. I got a Mini-mac, a MacBook, and Ipod and an Iphone.

I've considered BootCamp, but I don't want to have to buy Windows, again, to get it to work.

This one flaw is Quicken. It doesn't really work as well with Apple.

Firefox worked, thanks.

Just bought a 24" iMac for the wife to replace the crappy Dell we've had for a few years. So far the thing has been awesome and hopefully I won't have to wipe the hard drive on a semi-annual basis like I did with that piece of crap Dell. The best thing about it is that it didn't come with half the hard drive full of credit card and internet offers pre-installed. I've got a 13.3" Dell laptop that will be replaced by a Macbook when I get the cash.

Doubt it, I've been using Macs for years and never had to do that.
