[QUOTE="meltbanana314, post: 78655"] I'll bite. 1. On Windows (and Linux) I had to work on fixing/tweaking the computer more than actually getting to do work with it. 2. I had a crappy Compaq Presario 710US running Windows XP Home (and later Ubuntu Linux) - but now I have a brand new 12-inch PowerBook G4. 3. I use my PowerBook for basic computing/student tasks... researching things on the Internet, e-mail, IM conversations, writing reports, sync'ing with my iPod and I'm learning how to program in Ruby (I'm the master at "Hello, world!" :teen: ) 4. I've had no problems adjusting to OS X except for the fact that it's too ****ed easy. On Windows I expect things to take a long time and to crash, and on Linux I expect a lot of stuff to be an ugly kludge that takes tweaking to work. On OS X, it's exactly the opposite. Now I have a lot more free time to spend learning new stuff instead of making stuff work. 5. I used OS X long before I got my PowerBook, so I can't really remember my "first" impression - but my impression of OS X automagically connecting to my 802.11g network at home on bootup was one of extreme overjoyment :mac: 6. Happy with the switch? Definitely. I wouldn't go back for any amount of money. [/QUOTE]
