[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 407788, member: 9385"] Ironically enough, switching to a Mac of current incarnation has brought me back to the way of old. With its UNIX underpinnings, it works very much like the old but very powerful Sun Workstations (and later NeXT) machines that I used back in the mid-late '80s. Oh, there's some major innovations and such, but depending on the type of user you are it's kind of like going back to an old (but now much sexier) friend. Also after about the first six months of getting comfortable with a Mac, you won't care about issues, versions, insecurity, or compatibility with anything having to do with Windows. You won't even care about the insults you see hurled virtually on other web sites. You'll view them with a mild, kind of omniscient amusement. Just take care to not become the stereotypical 'smug Mac user.' Disclaimer: I still use Windows and Linux. Only when I (am getting paid to) have to. [/QUOTE]
