Mac OS X: the usual mac vs. pc question

get the MAC

In reply to: You could... by R. Proffitt 

Switching from XP should be a cinch. Main thing instead of the shortcuts in the "Start" menu, the Mac will put aliases onto the "Dock". Which you can choose to have at the bottom of your screen all of the time or you can "hide" it. You can choose to place it on the bottom, or either side of your screen which will save you screen real estate. Just move your mouse near the edge and the "Dock" will pop-up for your use.

As for software! The free stuff you get with a new Mac is awesome. I volunteer at our local hospice and create DVD's for our patients and their families using only the FREE software that's included. iPhoto for pictures, iTunes for my CD's or downloaded music, GarageBand for creating mood music, iMovie for editing our video and iDVD for making the movie and buring onto a DVD. And they ALL work with one another, smoothly. Within iMovie I can access all of those items, without having to run open each separate program.

Pick a Mac, you won't regret it
