[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 46532, member: 4085"] Guess it's only fair if i answer my own questions too huh? [B]1. How do you find your Mac?[/B] i like it, i think it like me. But switching from a faster machine to a slow ass PB is annoying. [B]2. Was changing OS'es from what you know in Windows to MacOS hard? Confusing in anyway?[/B] I never really switched. Have used a Mac since the SE30's but have owned PC's along the way for various reasons. [B]3. Is your Mac reliable? Does it crash, etc.?[/B] [i]Workstation:[/i] For all the time I've owned it, I had one Kernel Panic and that was prior to Panther. Had a few problems regarding memory mismatch from various brands, if anything some applications freeze and goto 'not responding' [i]Server:[/i] Not crashed yet! Just my doggie networking failing sometimes, it's been restarted a few times for maintenance and installing of server-side applications. [i]PowerBook:[/i] on the whole it's been well behaved, just the occasional glitch here and there, but I'm always trying thing on it... can;t get linux to install, i get errors. [B]4. If given the opportunity, would you go back?[/B] Erm... that would be no, never! [B]5. Would you recommend other's to the Macintosh Platform?[/B] Of course... My clients seems to be gob-smacked buy the display more than anything.

What you like to see on the Mac, apart from more games?[/b] More choice of applications, software manufactures should start porting their application to the Mac. Would be good for everybody. [B]7. How you find the support given on this forum? If bad, or good then say why it's good or bad. [/B] Mostly good, but there are some weak points regarding Unix and X11 that seem to be lacking. Occasionally there are trolls lurking around but i think they got rid of most of them. :D Me on Me... rare that! [/QUOTE]
