Myself was a PC to Mac user- all i can say is, you would have wished you got the mac sooner. here are some pro and cons in your 1st 2 weeks using macs
Pros
1-U get into wifi zone using one click only
2-Stable OS and zippy response
Cons
1-u will scour the net to find all the necessary apps you had when u were using windows
2 - u keep looking for the scandisk and defrag tool
3 - all ur apps dun close as u keep minimizing them into the dock
4- not easy to connect to a windows/office network

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 5 2006, 02:46 PM) carpathia, It's a good thing I'm not running too MANY applications [or at least I don't think i am!]. I prob hope to use whatever software that comes bundled with the Mac - other than for the rest. Speaking of which, I do know there are limitations when it comes to applications for Mac but I don't think there'll be an 'oh-so-common-application' today that won't have an equivalent for Mac users, right? Yes, I am aware after having gone through MAC 101 that applications are minimised to dock unless you command quit it. Er, just how difficult would it be to connect to my office network - which is primarily windows based? It's a one-time off config or do I have to re-map drive each time? Appreciate your reply  APPS - This is good news! - unless u r using some special apps from your company, then u r outta luck. each windows network will require a one time off setting- u dun have to remap the drive each time/ |
