| Is it OK to switch to a Mac? Will I die? I read this article somewhere and felt that this is very true, one of the better written articles on Macs in my opinion.

| That's a good point; Macs really are specialty machines. They're fine for the usual stuff like email, word processing, etc. but all Macs come with Firewire, most have burners and all have some sort of iLife bundle.

| I'd also like to recommend Macs for one more group: Those who want to have their computer understand them instead of understanding their computer...it just seems more logical to me by MY terms of logical. |

| Yeah, that's true... lots of features of OS X are user-centric while so many features of Windows are user-eccentric. That's kinda stupid...

| Some interesting points. Although I disagree with the separation between Windows and Mac the author expressed. She did not mention anything about security or stability. |

| YOU have to evaluate what your computing needs are. If you MUST play the latest 3D games, buy a PC, if you're willing to wait a little longer, get the Mac. If you need every single business application available, get a PC, if all you need is Micro$oft Office, Quicken, or InvestorRT (serious stock market stock trading program), then get the Mac. I use my mac to play Quake3Arena, make CD's for listening in the car, general web browsing, email, education, and running my natural soap business. I am in no way limited by using a Mac, infact, it has made my life easier because I have less problems with my computer, everything works as its supposed to work, no "surprises", no device driver problems, No Blue Screen Of Death crashes. Networking on a Mac is the simplest task, just turn it on and plug in the wires, voila! Sure, I buy most of my software through mail order catalogs (Club Mac, Mac Mall, Mac Warehouse), and I've NEVER hada problem with adding hard drives or other PC hardware to my Mac. Oh, another thing, don't waste money buying antivirus software for a Mac, there aren't many virii around for Macs.
