Just a quick tip for those MS users who are considering a switch to Mac.

Apple doesn’t have an internet icon, they call it Safari. Took me 3 hours and a phone calk to find that out when my wife brought an iPad. The whole world knows it’s called the internet but Apple has to be different...

So “Chrome” and “Firefox” are beyond you as well?

Here is a cheat sheet for you:

Word ~ Pages
Excel ~ Numbers
Powerpoint ~ Keynote
Outlook ~ Mail, Contacts, Calendar

Please note that these come FREE with most (if not all) new Mac purchases. They are full versions, not trial versions or crippleware.

Additionally, Macs come with:

Safari = Web surfing software
Reminders
Notes
Maps
Messaging
Facetime
Photo Booth/Photos
Dictionary
Calculator
iMovie
GarageBand

This list doesn’t include the hundreds of free apps available for download from the App store. Unlike free Windows programs, these are certified virus free.

Microsoft calls their's "Edge" now. How is that any better? Internet is what you browse, not the app you use to do it with. Both platforms also have "FireFox". . . Can you tell what that does from the name? Google's is "Chrome."
