[QUOTE="Corbri, post: 641325, member: 52815"] I'm a newer switcher to. I've found the switch to be almost completely painless. The most important things that I have to suggest to you are: 1.) Remember you have a mac, and it's a good thing. Don't be po'ed when your mac doesn't act like a pc. Be prepared to learn new things. They are easy and will come naturally if you are open minded. 2.) Anything that you have for windows you can almost surely find for a mac in one form or another. You'll also see that most generally anything you could ever need is free (legally too) This is my favorite site for software you may need: [url]http://www.opensourcemac.org/[/url] You'll see that instead of mIRC we have colloquy or instead of bittornado we have transmission. The list goes on, lots of great stuff available. 3.) There is lots of fun things you can do with your macbook. LIke making it a smackbook, or making your keyboard blink to your music... lots of other fun stuff. Most of all just remember it's a Mac, and you are happy that it's a mac :) 4.) The worst thing that has continually bothered me about mac even with my open mind is the no right click. You can right click by using command click, but it still doesn't really work the same. It doesn't matter though, it's something you get used to but in my experience that's whats been the hardest to get used to. [/QUOTE]
