Let's put to rest the myth that an Apple computer will set you back more than a Windows PC. In fact, it'll cost you less.

    My point was....

    Hey Lister

    Coming from 20+ years in the PC world, I understand how hard the transition to Mac can be.

    >>>You want to open second browser window?

    Fine, go to the Safari menu bar (top of the screen) and choose "File/New Window".

    My point wasn't that you can't open a second Safari window. I'm sure you can. You can probably open 10 of them. My point is just that whatever system is new to you, it's going to be difficult to learn. And also that hyper types like me can crash anything, therefore it's not right to say that Macs never crash.

    Also that my friend, a longtime Mac user, knew very little about her system and so when she talked about how great Mac is, I suspect she isn't that credible. But she's happy with what she has, and I'm happy with what I have.

    I just saw utterly no reason to switch. And I'd suggest that many of the PC users feel the same-- whatever allure Mac has, it's not alluring us. Do Mac users really think we're crazy or something? Or maybe it's just that we know what we want?
