Joined the Dark side

My wife & I just purchased a Mac Mini. Just great. Lots of fun. Going to be great to get use to it.

wicked. I read that you are probably part of 400,000 who switched recently.

I'll bet you that in about a month you'll realize that you are hardly spending anytime on your PCs (or this will apply to the wife or both of you)

Cheers

once you go mac, you never go back.

Cool! Welcome To Macintosh! And BTW, it's the Windows platform that's "The Dark Side"; not the Mac platform ;)

[Paul Stanway Jr]

Welcome to the "Mac side". My fiancee just bought an eMac two weeks ago and she really likes it. :)

"The Mac Side". How PC (politically correct :D ).

This takes us back to 1997, when MS bought a whack of Apple stock:

After using Mac I have to say I do find myself spending less and less time on my
Windoze machine.


........ darn, unlike Windoze it's been a couple of months now with out a reboot or crash ...I'm liking it!

Are you talking an application crash? Or, a system crash? I've had the odd application crash over the years, but never a system crash.

For a little while, my wireless USB adaptor gave me trouble, because I moved the program it uses out of the root of the Applications folder. Now, this did cause the occasional "kernel panic", which is an all-out FREEZE of the system and a kernel panic does require a hard reboot. Moving the app back solved it. And, that is a bit of a frustration with OS X, especially with the default apps (such as iLife), if you move the apps out of the root of the Applications folder, OS X's Software Update program can't find them to be updated! :rrg: Silly thang!

yea wait til you experience the delete the program, can't uninstall, won't let you install over top to fix it, and that $%&*ing message on every startup about some missing dll or something or other, you're screwed now joy.

It'll make that little faux pas seem like oops... I'll just drag 'er back all fine now, little hiccup. :)

macs have always been far, far easier to fix up than a windows machine.

for instance. Try putting a fresh install of windows down without losing any settings, email, programs etc. etc. etc.

My Mac has been solid as a rock (knock on wood) so far!


I would have typed this message on my PC but it's rebooting..LOL
