How was the transition? Are you happy you made the change?

For me, the transition was forced as I was hired into a Mac environment.

Any advanced concerns were quickly erased however, in that the transition was for all intents and purpose, seamless.

We still have PCs at home used by wife and son, where the constant challenges of over coming error messages and freeze ups remain a pain in the ass.

For me, the transition from PC to Mac was awkward for about the first 30 seconds.

I don't miss PCs at all.

Switched to Mac as my primary home computer about 5 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Using the same computer for 5 yrs with no hardware or software issues. Amazing

Still use PC's also but love our Macs !

The old PC keystrokes...you have to relearn new ones to do the same thing.

Other than that, I don't know what took so long to get here.

we have a pc in the home office, about two years ago the wife got a macbook, I was against it at the time because I didnt want the headache of learning a new system...I think the hardest part of the switch for me was calling it Safari instead of windows. Once you go Mac you never go back!

Take ScottHar's reply with a grain of caution, 8track. For PC, substitute "women" and Mac substitute "trannys". It's Hollywood codespeak.

Ewwwwwww. Thanks for the help. Pacman.

He is into Sausage parties if memory serves.

But isn't the Mac platform shy on software? That is, there are so many more kinds of software for pc.

Sure there are many equivalents, but my concern is high end scholar-level Bible software; it has not been made available for Mac many years now.

My experience is limited.

My father, who is a 64yo electrical engineer who has used computers casually for decades asked me what to recommend for his new home PC.

He disregarded my suggestion and got a MAC.

In the years that he had a PC, I would have to drive up maybe once or twice a year and resolve an issue.

Now....it is every month. Not failure issues per se, but he has a problem learning how to do things.

It is frustrating for me since the things I know how to do don't apply.

I'll never buy a MAC.

Neo, Mac can run PC apps.

PC still cannot run Mac apps.

"PC still cannot run Mac apps."

That's not completely true. Although the MacOS on Windows emulators leave a LOT to be desired of them.

Oh, and for the cost of the emulator software, you can just go to craigslist and pick up the real deal in an Mac that is a few years old - and it won't have all the limitations of the emulator.

when i switched it took the whole summer to figure out how to use a mac. after that it was really great. I find that when I use a pc I try to use some of the techniques as a mac and scratch my head as to why it does not work. Overall all I am sorta of happy with mac. My hard drive died last summer and I did not have it backed up. The new mac pros are amazing though.

Why would you ever switch? Windows is too hard for you? Mac OS is the worst system ever. They might be fast and "pretty" looking, but the UI, customization, and in-depth look at errors and such is horrible.

*I mean come on, get a damn right click or at least have a menu that pops up if you hover over the icon or something.*

Don't ask don't tell..........

About 20 years ago I had a MAC. At the time there was little software for it but the OS was FAR superior. Once the PC OS was changed and it was easier to use it made more sense to switch. Just never went back. I have too much invested in software (Quickbooks, FrontPage, etc) to make the change.

moved to mac about 12 years ago. love them. (although I have found the new intel macs to have a few more bugs/issues than the pre-intel ones. Don't plan on going back to pc.

as to the right click --> my apple mouse has a right click
