[QUOTE="claudius753, post: 249638, member: 10917"] This is one thing I hate, though I used to be one of them. How many of your acquaintances have actually had experience with using a Mac on a daily basis? I used to be one of the people who said Mac's are junk, PCs are superior. And I had never used a Mac. Even being a computer nerd, there was just such a strong vibe against Macs around, that I bought in to them. Eventually, I started looking in to them, because the hardware looked so cool and the UI (User Interface) looked great. I learned that Macs had UNIX under the hood, which is fantastically powerful but not very user friendly, but had an easy to use beautiful UI on top. It had the power of the Linux I had been playing around on with my PC, but looked good and was easy to use. I took the plunge and bought an iMac about 15 months ago. Now I am a Mac evangelist. I now have a computer that I never once have to delve into to fix a problem, but I always have the ability to dive into and play around if I want. I don't have to worry every time I use it about security or viruses. I can just use it to do what I want to do, or I can get down into the UNIX at it's very core, seamlessly, and on my terms. Add in the ability to run Windows if you absolutely hate it (which I highly doubt) and you have, to quote the commercial, "the only computer you'll ever need" Of course, I could be biased :spook: [/QUOTE]
