[QUOTE="flapjack, post: 936635, member: 129432"] I have had around a dozen pc and what did it for me was someone sending me a word docx which my word (04) wouldn't open ! So I bought a book on unix and open source and looked at macs as the next purchase. I resisted puting XP onto boot camp as I wanted to learn the mac way - and not fall into bad habits by having a mac but running windows on it. I went as far as using neo office and iwork instead of MO for Mac again to force me out of habits. I love some of your niggles ( only because I had those as well , although I like the top bar which stays regardless of which program I have , because the menus are pretty much all in the same place ) Keyboard shortcuts was not in my realm at all but now I use them all the time and it does take time to bed in , so be patient. I like all that links together unlike a pc which was colourful yes flows easy between programs - no Trying to use a different OS is like using your standard moves in a mirror to begin with - sometimes you need to look at things from a different angle. :| [/QUOTE]
