[QUOTE="tonym, post: 3120642, member: 4127"] I bought a Mac a few years ago, because I was sick of my IMB Amiga PC. I hated it, and it hated me. I would buy software and frequently the software wouldn't run. I couldn't figure out how to make the computer do things I wanted it to do. And it crashed often. Compared with that horrible PC, my new Mac was like a computer from a different galaxy. It worked so well! The operating system, OS10, is a thing of beauty, and is so well-designed. I really like how I don't need a manual to make it work. Nearly everything I want it to do is a piece of cake. (I [I]read[/I] only when I want to do oddball stuff, like changing the icons from their default images to little pictures I drew myself.) The security from virii and spyware is also nice. Not long ago I bought a cheap Dell for my young daughter and it has been a pain (though not nearly as bad as the Amiga). I can't get about a third of the software I buy for it to run, it freezes-up a lot, and other annoying junk. Plus, to me, Windows XP is unpleasant to look at. For example, when I do a search for a file using Windows XP, some ugly cartoon dog with a flashlight shows-up! Gag! I'm not in pre-school, Mister Gates. Two last comments. Nowadays the Macs have an eject button on the keyboard to open the drive bay, not a button on the computer. And OS 10 is [U]nothing[/U] like OS 9. OS 9 is awful, IMO. If anybody reading this is basing their Mac-opinions on OS 9, go to Apple.com and look screengrabs of OS10 and read about it. OS10 is awesome. Tony M [/QUOTE]
