[QUOTE="airline1, post: 195396"] The decision to switch was an easy one. I was fed up of spending at least an hour every week updating virus definitions, spyware definitions and adware definitions. Not to mention plugging the security gaps via microsoft update. And even after keeping everything upto date you are still not safe from viruses, hackers, keyloggers etc. As Mac becomes more and more popular it will of course become a potentially more attractive target for the hackers and virus builders. But until then, its THE OS for me. The biggest problem I had as a switcher was moving out the comfort zone and having to learn a new operating system. But Im beginning to get more comfortable with it, just as I did when first starting to use Windows. All the programs I need are available for the Mac, and if I want to play games then I can always upgrade to the 256 vram MBP. The one thing I do like about the Mac is the sense of camaraderie on the forums. Its is similar to car drivers and motorbike riders. The car drivers are constantly trying to beat each other off the road, whilst the bikers always give another biker the friendly 'nod' as the pass each other on the road. Dave [/QUOTE]
