I just thought I'd come in here and post about my experience as a swticher, 6 months into my 'journey'
After using 'the others' for 20ish years, and being completely self taught on all things computing, I finally had enough of the headaches and frustration of dealing with them. I had seen a couple of friends with Macs, and I just knew that I HAD to have one for my next computer!
I did a lot of reading and research before my purchase, including finding this forum (thank you!!) so I had no illusions that the transition would necessarily be easy. But, I have to say that it honestly has been so far!! Yes, i have had a few 'moments', but most times a quick search of the forums here or google soon sorted me out
I just love love love the smooth, easy and calm feel and use of them. And I have also since remembered that my VERY first computer experience in the 3rd grade was on an Apple IIe LOL. So maybe I've always really been a Mac ;D
To any new switchers- just hang in there! Use the search function in this forum, USE USE USE it!! And don't expect things to work just like windoze cause they don't!
Thank you to everyone on this forum for making the switch so good for me!
