Hello,
I am in the middle of writing a book on switching to Mac for PC/Windows users. I am trying to be honest and open, and point out the pitfalls, things Mac's aren't as good at etc. as part of it.
The book follows three main parts:
i. Why to switch to Mac and the Mac model range
ii. Moving from Windows
iii. Getting back to having fun with computers
With this book I'll cover the reasons to switch, why not to switch, the models available (without focussing too much on exact specifications as these date quickly), the intel issue, transferring files, email etc. and then for the having fun section -- all about how to have lots of fun using iLife, and also various Mac OS X goodies to make working more fun.
This book will be self published, and if it sells well enough to cover costs, I am planning on getting it an ISBN, and having it distributed to Amazon and so forth (so long as they pick it up from the wholesalers, but that's a long story for another time!)
As such, I'm not sure whether it will be successful but it's a fun project, and I shall make snippets available here. Also, I am trying to just do somethinga a bit different from a couple of the existing books out there.
What I am looking for is people who have switched from Windows to Mac OS X, and short précis of your experience, they can be good and bad -- trying to strike a balance here, but try to keep things short as I am just looking for a couple of short quotes.
For those who make it into the book with their experiences, I cannot promise much but to offer a free copy of the book to you. I know it isn't much but the unemployed like myself at present (hopefully not for too much longer) don't have much to offer in terms of reward.
I wouldn't necessarily be looking to include all your personal details in, so you'll probably be referenced by first name, or we can decide on a pseudonym if you choose, it's up to you, we can mitigate this if you come up with something I think is suitable for the book. Please PM me any other comments, but you can share you experiences here, and I shall feedback ofr course any progress.
Thank you ever so much, I really value your help!
