[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 579947, member: 33722"] The "no software available for Mac" thing was one of the big "myths" I believed in for years. Though I really liked the Macs I had used in college, I was stuck in the Windows mentality being around them at work. I didn't even consider the Mac when buying home computers because I didn't know software options existed. When I switch careers to UNIX administration I found out about all the high quality software available for non-Windows platforms. Then, once I learned that Mac OS was UNIX, I was sold and switched as UNIX is so much easier to work with via the command line. The only time I use Windows now is every two weeks when I have to turn in my employer's electronic timesheet. It's a proprietary Windows application that I run on Bootcamp! Dave [/QUOTE]
