First I am not an Apple basher.
What are your options for video cards, or sound
cards on a Mac.
The pc is like GM motors, there are
chevy's ~ to caddies. (check out the $20K + in Max PC).
The Mac will always be more stable OS wise since it
is a closed system and hacker attack because thre are fewer of
them.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer is not bad, it is the
most used browser and hackers want to do the most harm with the least
resource.

I always used Mac up until this last comp, which is a PC
running Vista. I know from a number of your posts Larry, you're a
computer guy and probably much more knowledgeable than many. While I've
had many older Macs, I'm not in any way a computer guy, which is why I went
with Mac in the beginning.
I notice far fewer differences
between the new PCs, and the current range of Macs, for the way I use
them. Again, for a real computer type, I'm sure there are lots of
differences.
Build quality on a Mac, is more like that on a
Benz, while I find most PCs are Chev's. Nothing wrong with a Chev, but
if you appreciate industrial design, and build quality, you will appreciate a
Mac.
The Apple site gives a pretty good overview of their product
range, along with all the specs and prices. I understand it's quite easy
to load something like XP on a new Mac, but this came after I started to use a
PC. There have always been claims and apps to switch between to two, but
I never found them any good in the past.
One thing I have
noticed over the years, Mac seem to make much better use of the available
memory, and storage space. I'm sure this holds true for their latest
offerings too. Think of it as a Porsche, where it often looks to have
less HP on paper, but it manages to get the job done, often better than those
other machines with more HP. ;-)
See if you have an Apple store within
range of you, they have their full range on display, and usually have a very
knowledgeable and helpful staff. Avoid the place a few weeks before the
kids head back to Uni though, or it will be swarming with people.
Good
luck in your search Larry.

Hi
Gang -
It's not quite time yet but I'm leaning toward switching to MAC
when my
laptop needs replacing. I've had enough of Microsoft and
it's strange ways.
>From all I hear Mac is the way to go.
How
do I buy one? What specs are important? Is it the same as
a PC? Is
Apple the right one to get?
Any comments would help
- I know *nothing* about Mac except what others
have said (largely here)
- TIA -
