[QUOTE="didymus, post: 936566, member: 98293"] The first personal computer I used was an Apple II - then the BBC Microcomputer (on a departmental network!) - then, for personal use, an Amstrad, and on to years of the PC with Windows - from its earliest manifestation. Now it is an iMac. Everything I used had different operating systems (and I still think that the BBC Microcomputer's was the best :-) ) and I had to learn all the quirks and oddities of each. That's what you have to do when you change. After the past 20 years or so of using the PC I have no regrets whatsoever about switching - everything works happily together, I don't get those irritating 'I'm sorry ... has a problem and has to close' messages (except with Office for the Mac!) and, although I have virus protection, nothing has ever been notified to me in the past six months. Pluses and minuses - for me, the pluses outweigh the downside. [/QUOTE]
