You've seen the ads. You've heard the accolades. You take the plunge. The first 24 hours are really pleasing... the Mac "just works!" out of the box... it is really good if you are a total tech-incompetent. I am not, but I enjoyed the set-up: nicely done.
Then, you spend time with the machine. You start to use it. You start to have doubts - "have I made a terrible error?" Sadly, the answer is "yes."
All that noise about how "user friendly" the Mac is? Only true if you have absolutely no clue what you are doing, and don't want to do much anyway. The finer points of UI design, the small-print of usability - well, the Windows operating system is simply far, far better. An experienced, technically competent PC user will find the Mac UI profoundly irritating. Expect:
* Higher 'click counts'
* More random machine slow-downs
* Infuriating random events (icons vanishing, other weird
stuff...), as - of course - the God-like Mac programmers
know FAR more than you do about what you really

I got tired of listening to my Mac mini's loud external drive. This thing is quiet, full of storage, has a beautiful screen and is overall amazing. Just amazing. Every single person who walks in to my office comes over to stare at it. They usually think it's just a "really nice monitor." Then I tell them, "No, that's the whole computer." Then they go back to their little Dell laptops and cry.

...until I bought this iMac and saw the light. No, I'm not a graphic artist or serious musician or anyone who can remotely be classified as "artsy fartsy." Still, after using my iMac for a couple of months, I understand why most Mac users are dedicated to their product with a near religious fervor.
The best way to describe the Mac experience to imagine that you've just been upgraded from flying coach to first class. PCs get the job done, but the comfort and ease of use level is only average. With a Mac, everything you need is at your fingertips (like any good attendant in the first class cabin). I mainly use the computer for business use, web surfing, and organizing music and photos (Mac's a triumph in this area). In each of this areas, the Mac platform glides in and out of each application with a smoothness that no Windows based PC can match.
If you are thinking about ditching PC, don't waste years stupidly overthinking your decision like I did. Take the plunge and give yourself the
