[QUOTE="Orion119, post: 40800"] My first experience with a mac was my mother's G3 ibook which I used for photoshop out of deperation because my PC was impossible. I could never get the colors between my moniter and PC to correctly calibrate and any request that required more processing power than "rotate" would cause any file above 30mb to freeze. I went in without any expectations and was gradually blown away as I became more fully in tune with the machine and it's capabilities. I know everyone says it and it sounds corny but everything simply...worked. The colors automatically integrated, it followed my filter and layer duplication requests, (as long as some of them may have taken) and the 800mhz processor was only a fraction slower than my 1.6MHZ P4 With half the fricken ram! Eventually it came to a point where my tempermental PC was hardly touched and I was doing all my work and play on the ibook my mother gave up trying to get back. It was then I decided to get a powerbook for college and I've Had it fo nearly a month. I'm fully integrated, fully switched. And so far no problems or regrets. I'm still getting used to not having to run any virus scans or reboots from faulty sleep problems, which is welcome icing on the cake [/QUOTE]
