gee...I've never seen this thread before...../wise crack
The next box I buy will be a Mac. Im sick and tierd of desktop hijacks, worms, trojans, viruses and how totally FUBAR the registry gets, blah blah, blah blah, etc, etc....
If a Mac will at least do what it is advertised to do, RELIABLY, It will be more than worth the extra cost. My time alone spent "administating" my home network is worth at least that much.
The prices of Macs have come down considerably and are now comparable to PCs. We use Macs and have one Windows machine because of our business.
What on earth do you people do to get these things?
I've had 2 nastly little buggers in 10 years of computing. All PCs.
What does FUD mean?
Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt or Disinformation
Ditto.
Thanks! My son has an ibook that he bought last summer (with the help of your input) and he loves it...but I still use a PC laptop because I am afraid! Will it work the same or better or worse...I am used to the keys and will it work like I am used to...I am afraid!! My son loves his Mac and has had NO problems with it while I have had a few. Deep sigh. I need to make the switch but am so scared!
If Apple would make an inexpensive x86 tower that had upgradable graphics I would buy one.
But they don't.
Borrow your sons laptop for a week or so and use it 100% of the time.
Lock your normal system away for that time so you don't try to use it because you know how to do things on it without having to try.
Check out these websites:
Guide to PC and Mac OS differences for new Mac Mini users
They will answer some of your questions.
There are some keyboard differences... on the PC you use CTRL-X to Cut, CTRL-C to copy, and CTRL-V to paste... on a Mac you use the Apple/Command key (It's located where the Windows key is on your PC keyboard) in place of the Control Key. These are easy to get used to.
I've enjoyed using the tagline "Get a Mac - The Ultimate FReeping Machine" for a while, but I'm switching a new tagline for a few weeks -

Great Tagline!
I had an extraneous comma, it's gone now.
LOL
Patience, my dearl little DAniel-son.
The Pro-tower based on Intel is on it's way. Apple is waiting for the new chip from Intel so that they have a significant jump from the "consumer" to the "pro" line.
AT that point - it will be like the last several years worth of PowerMacintosh models - using PCI/PCI-X/AGP/etc. for graphics.
