the remote desktop function was dramatically better. a few other features were infinitely nicer but the entire ‘cancel or continue’ thing is something I’d like to personally beat some MS programmer over. Having to ‘continue or cancel’ is like having to press 1 for English.

That being said, I’ve got both MAC and Dell laptops and I still use the Dell more for business. Maybe I’m just not hip enough to really like MAC or I haven’t made enough effort to have it ‘grow’ on me.

A lot of it seems to boil down to comfort level. I started out as a kid in the early 80s doing a bit of programming on an Apple ][. Some of the programs were my own, others came out of PBS Electric Company magazine, which used to publish the code for you to write your own games. Anyone remember that?

I've been using Macs for as long as I can remember. I'm no longer a MacMac and don't begrudge anyone their decision to use Windows. As long as I don't have to use it myself.

I’ve been using Macs for 10 yrs. now at work, with XP at home. I’d never shell out for a personal Mac. At home, I’ve switched to Kubuntu Linux (with a 2nd XP hard drive for games). Again, I’d never shell out for a Mac.

Sell your dell, run windows in parallels or bootcamp or both on your Mac. Save money and time and be worry free!
