I switched and love that I did
All I can say is that I am really impressed with my new G5. I have always used PCS up until I chucked it in October '05. I have worked on DOS, OS/2, Winblows (Original, '95, and XP) and Linux.
Heck when I bought my first PC in the early '80s I took it home, hooked it up, plugged it in and all it did was have the green square blink at me until I "learned" on what I needed to do to make it work.
I knew that there would be a "learning" curve with the Mac but heck that is the fun of "having" something new to play with.
I have the 2.0 Dual Core, w/2.5 GB and 2 internal hard drives. FYI, the 2nd hard drive was sooooo simple to install. Soooo simple! There I said it again..simple.
When I first opened the case of my new Mac, I was so impressed. There wasn't a mish mash of cables, etc. clogging the insides. I saw all. To me it just seems like a work of art. Clean and straight lines, etc.
I was sort of nervous after using Quicken since the late '80s and having all of my financials together on the PC but not being able to carry the info to the Mac version of Quicken but I knew I could start fresh. I always kept up with my financials so I wasn't nervous of losing track of money but just the feeling of not having it all at my fingertips. All is fine with that now.
I have sinced getting my new Mac purchased shapeshifter and all of the other aps they sell on their site, and have had a blast tweaking, and playing with the look and feel of the Mac.
I downloaded Silverkeeper and have it scheduled to backup all the files that I need backed up. Smart program.
I have the Microsoft Office Suite for the Mac and rarely use it. Only for work that I do for the office.
I enjoy the mail program Apple has supplied with the Mac. It is simple and easy to use. It really works for collecting the junk that comes in every hour on the hour.
I guess I should wind down because I think I have rambled on for a bit.
Mac users don't let anyone tell you different. The Mac is a great machine that anyone can use, and if anyone tells you differently, they are only trying to get your "goat."
