It only takes a little while to get used to the differences in the look and locations of things.<BR/><BR/>I've done tech support for both Macs and PCs for 20 years, and on the whole the headaches involved with Windows support make me wonder why anyone would want a PC. You'll always hear stories from both camps about how they had a machine that was great or that gave them trouble. What I'm saying is that statistically speaking, the Mac is far more reliable - and it's a joy to use. Do yourself a favor, and at least visit the local Apple store to see the latest laptops. I don't think you'll regret it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16106043.post-1146029365826728642006-04-25T22:29:00.000-07:002006-04-25T22:29:00.000-07:00I'm with Rich & Paul.

(One of them has had hers for more than 6 years!) <BR/><BR/>I would say under no circumstances let yourself be talked into a Dell. They are Dellish beasts. I lost so many pages of writing and spent so much time on customer support telephone calls that I scrapped mine after about a year and a half, and it was still under warrenty.Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.com
