Macs are beautiful =)

1. Boot time. When I seen how quick the boot time was the first time i started my mac (did a restart), I was amazed !! =)

2. BSoD.

3. Apps are so much more easier to manage. Don't want it ..trash. Want to install it. drag and done (most of the time).

4. Virus free =)

5. PCs tend to run slow over time (at least i'v found in my experience). Macs feel fluent and natural.

5. Having a Mac has made me a happier person in general. I love this piece of hardware. Man I just found out about "Growl" today, such a sweet app. which leads to 6 ..

6. When you first got a PC did you ever enjoy researching how to use the Windows Operating system? .. Well, Windows is so common you probably picked up since its basically everywhere. Since I'v made the switch to OSX (Linux) Adapting to the changes is fun for me lol. The *first* thing I did when i got my mac was Google: "mac forums" .. =).
