For months I have been posting countless messages asking
about various benefits of a MAC over a PC. Honestly, I have
been struggling to buy a Macintosh over the years, but every
time I have opted to purchase a PC for two reasons....
1. Everybody owns a PC. It is the dominant format and
will forever be dominant for most consumers.
2. Software. I have so much PC software that I don't want
to give up. My most favorite chat client and other programs
I use on a daily basis are exclusive to PC.
Now that Macintosh can run Windows via Parallels there seems
to be very little reason not to switch to Mac.
As I look to purchase another PC in the next few months I
am once again considering a Mac.
So my question is this....
What key elements involving the Mac OS and the way it
handles files and basic everyday operations impresses you the most?
In other words, and as an example, I have a friend that just
bought his first Mac. He sent me an email telling me how much
more he likes it over his PC. He failed, however, to be specific.
Just on the surface, when you start playing around with the
interface, immediately impresses you?
What is it that a Macintosh does above and beyond Windows
that would instantly embrace someone?
