I’ve had Apple computers off an on since 1980. I remember a IIci that I dragged across country and back. But it’s really been a Windows world for me for most of the past 15 years, I’d say.
Not anymore.
A sweet little Aluminum Macbook and the 10.5 release of the OS (Leopard) has won me over. I resisted, I was obstinate (can’t stand following the crowd, even when they’re still the minority crowd) but now each day it gets better and better. Spotlight, Quicksilver, Mail, Growl, Adium, GrowlMail, Fusion, GarageBand, Mail Act-On, even Safari…good stuff. And with an XP Pro VM running in Fusion, I feel I’m still able to run whatever I need to. Except, strangely, I don’t need to (except for some Visio and Project files).
It’s simply a better computer, better operating system, better quality of software. I wish I had switched over sooner.
That’s the story. Going back to having a good time with my computer now.

I agree with you as well, but I grew up with only Apple in the house, I have to say the system is solid, you can do incredibles things in unix, but in the front end of the software it looks fabulous. I love it when I read a story of someone switching from PC to Mac. What a great adventure. LOL
