  1. Comment - A Half-Million Mac Converts in 2005

    (Jul 20, 2005 - 3:34 PM)

    After reading some of you guys comments I find myself laughing on the inside that you are so clueless.

    First MacMini at it's base still blows PC out of the water in the same price range. Software for Mac is fantastic...off the top of my head I can easily think up 5 excellent FTP clients (3 being freeware). I can again off the top of my head think of 4+ DVD copying programs including DVD2one which is in every way comparable to DVDShrink. If you are a new Mac user you should try looking for programs at VersionTracker and Macupdate for things you need. You will find almost everything you can imagine there.

    As for being a trend computer, depending on your point of view that can be true, we do win design awards constantly (last PC design award was how many years ago now?), have the operating system (OSX) which has been named by numerous publications (even some PC centric publications) as the "Best Operating System", "The Most Secure Operating System", the list goes on. When was the last accolade or vote of confidence bestowed on anything from the Bill Gates operating system labs...? I'm afraid that if having a superior product (both hardware and software) is trendy...I'm perfectly happy to be trendy!

    I switched to Mac 4 years ago after being DIE HARD Windows. I have never had a problem, been unable to find a program I needed, had a virus, had spyware, or had a single problem of any kind since switching. That includes not having to constantly worry about updating virus software and firewalls...since being on Mac I've never once needed to worry for a second.

    Hmmmm....I doubt anyone on a Windows system anywhere can say the same thing.

    PS - Did I mention how easy it is to run a copy of Windows on a Mac, not sure why you'd want to but you could. Oddly you can't run OSX on a PC. Seems like Mac can do a whole lot more than anything PC can.
