[QUOTE="Iatros55, post: 1636161, member: 213303"] [b]Go ahead and switch[/b] I just got disgusted with the failures of Win 7 x 64. It seemed that weekly my PC failed in some way to allow me to perform a needed task. I work with my machines, not play games, and I expect reliable performance. So 3+ years ago, my loving spouse consented to plunk down some $$ for an iMac27. Of course, there is a learning curve, but there are so many resources for self-study and edification of the OSX. Soon I was automatically putting the mouse (then a trackpad) cursor to the left upper corner instead of the right. I began to use and learn the open source OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Mozilla backup, and many other apps that run well on OSX. With much help from the Mac Forums and other writers, I learned how to use the Mac. For my $$, I would never go back, but I kept the PC because I have a couple of programs that will not run on OSX unless I add virtual PC software. Those include Quicken (OSX version not as well done as PC) and a couple of flight simulators. My advice is to go for it, if you are even thinking about it. Dedicated OSX MAC users have mostly begun as PC users who went the route I did. (careful what you say, some are fanatical). [/QUOTE]
