[QUOTE="Sachsr1, post: 358009, member: 23128"] I can see where people call some Mac users "snobs", there is a lot of windows bashing out there. I feel it's like a ex-smoker or a born again Christian. You have been on both sides of the fence, and you know how much better it really is. When people say, oh I don't wanna learn a new operating system, or they are scared because they don't know what button to click on to get on the web. I see people getting turned off of Mac's because someone says "your using windows that's stupid. We have been thru that and know how simple it is to make the switch. You really want people to just try it, and see how nice it is on the Mac. I have a long time Mac using friend that I use to tease for using a Mac in the mid 90's. In my defense there wasn't a lot going right in the Mac camp back then, but now I think they are the system to use. You can own a Mac and run OS X or windows, you can surf the web without viruses or spyware, and use the windows side for what you you need to do on that platform. When we say that the Mac has no viruses they all say "that's because no one uses them". I say that may be true, but don't you think that some hacker would wanna be the one who made the first big Mac virus, wouldn't that be a big feather in your hacker cap. I also say that I don't have to run anti-virus or spyware programs, and they say "well what if there is a virus". I have a feeling if there is a virus I won't be the first one to get it:) [/QUOTE]
