I started with computers in the early to mid-eighties for ten years with Macs, then went over to PC’s and Microsoft for a decade, then four years ago came back to computer heaven with a MacBook Pro 15.5 along with a 23 inch Apple screen.
The MacBook Pro fully and completely fulfills desktop machine requirements plus allows me to travel whenever and wherever. Coupled with an iPod Touch 32g it provides almost constant email and internet news access and iTunes Apps. My decade experience (from ‘97 to 2007) with PCs was tiresome, frustrating, and labor intensive, with anti-virus software updates, constant scanning for problems, and weekly defragging — none of which is necessary with my Mac. The transition from PC and the new MacBook was simple, unlike the other way around.
