I take everything back...

Just got a mac Friday after many years of bashing Mac's, in short I'll never buy another PC again.

My friend told me of this site and I'm looking forward to using it.

hehehe. Once you go mac, you never go back.

Welcome to Mac Forums and the world of Macs and OSX.

Which Mac did you purchase?

welcome! don't bash it untill you try it.

I have a similar (perhaps identical) machine and I've been very happy with it for the past 3-4 months. Don't rush to add that third Gig of RAM until you're sure you need it. I run Parallels (which dedicates memory for Windows applications), the Safari web browser, the built-in OS X Mail program, iTunes, MS Word 2004, and MS Excel 2004 simultaneously without any troubles.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Dark Side. According to Windows users, anway - now you know it's actually the "path of the enlightened"

Welcome! I really believe that if anyone that bashes Macs would try one out for a decent amount of time with an open mind would not return to a PC. I for one am an example of that.

Enjoy your machine and good luck.

I'm gonna have to agree with you I bashed Macs FOREVER (I had been using PC's for about 15 years) but I finally gave it a shot about 3 weeks ago when it was time to upgrade/scrap yet ANOTHER PC after only about 2 years and I am NEVER going back to PC's I'm completely hooked even though it took me about a week of frustration because when your used to doing everything the hard way it's so easy it actually feels difficult lol, but just yesterday I was at my parents place clearing out virus' and spyware just TWO WEEKS after I had completely cleared out the PC I switched from and giving them what was essentially a "brand new" machine (they only do the absolute basics like email and browsing thats it) and I was so frustrated having to do things the old way and shocked at how much spyware and virus' there were on it after only a few weeks I literally said to them and I quote "This is absolutely ridiculous I hate these stupid things! Why in gods name did I ever waste money on these useless boxes of crap!?" and just couldnt wait to get home to my glorious little wonderbox!


Long live the Mac! lol
