There is no one more surprised that I bought a mac than me. I just can't tell you how much fun I'm having. When I get home, I jump on the mac and its like being on vacation! You know, fun, different, exciting, fun, interesting, fast, fun. So, you get the point.
Last Saturday a friend of mine was having trouble with her computer. Well, I wanted to help, but it was a Vista machine. Though I have used Windows for almost 20 years, I have been on Vista for about 10 minutes. Would you believe they even changed the way you turn off the machine?? I literally put the machine in hibernate thinking I was turning it off. . . which brings me one of the main reason I changed to mac. . . if I have to find everything I want to do in a new operating system, it may as well be a TRULY new operating system.
Some of the things I like about my mac:
1. FAST booting up, restarting and shutting down. Really fast. Boots up in about 20 seconds.
2. Widgets. . . yes, I know you can get them with Google desktop, but after you load G-desktop in Windows, well then Outlook doesn't work right.
3. Safari. . . yes, I know you can now get Safari for Windows, and you should try it, but I first found it on the mac.
4. iLife - now that is a REAL media center. Everything is integrated, need a photo on your email template? just drag it over.
5. Time Machine - what backup for computers should be.
6. iTunes / iPod - yep, just bought an iPod too and iTunes screams on the mac. . . simply put, its the way it was meant to be.
So, there's 6 reasons. I'll give you more later. Did I mention I am having FUN again using my computer?
