[QUOTE="DakRoland, post: 46709, member: 4459"] I switched about 2 1/2 years ago, so I hope this counts... I now own 4 Macs and briefly 5. Compared to my Windows days, I find the Macs are much more reliable, and when problems do happen, they are much more quickly resolved. Changing from Windows to Mac OS was not difficult. After 2 weeks, I was absolutely exstatic! I started with OS 9, but then slowly switched to Jaguar and then fully to Jaguar. I now use Panther almost exclusively. The only confusing aspect has been learning to think "Mac", and not think "Windows" when it comes to doing things. I'm much better at that now than I used to be, but every once in awhile, I slip back into that old habit. I have had a few Kernel Panics in the last 2 1/2 years, but compared to the number of Blue Screens on my PC I'd deal with on a weekly basis, the issues have been minor. If a program locks up, I force quit it, then relaunch and I'm back to work. I still have my PC for a few games and Network Printing, but the PC has Linux Mandrake on it now, and it makes that aspect much easier. Once I get a USB printer, the PC is history. I won't switch back at all. I would, I have, and I will continue to do so until Apple stops giving me reason to do so. Since my job is Internet Tech related, I would like to see more apps that deal with things like Radius, Point-of-Sale, Billing System, Internet Acceleration (for Dial Up Users), Server Stats, etc... Some things I can work around on my iBook, others I have to go to the PC for. What I've read so far has been extremely informative. I have yet to ask more than 3 questions so far, but the way the Mac community is, it's nice to know there's people who are friendly and helpful. ~Dak [/QUOTE]
