The BIG SWITCH - PC to MAC
After years and years of debate in my head (PC vs MAC), I finally had the guts to buy myself an IMAC last Friday. I’m telling you … I’m loving it!
20 inch glossy wide screen - great for movies and editing photos, 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 memory so i can run applications at the same time without slowing down, 320 GB hard drive for space, space, and more space, built in camera, DVD±RW super drive and wireless all in that small sleek package.
The switch from PC to MAC will take a little getting used to. ” PC habits” that’s hard to break like right clicks, keyboard shortcuts, different navigation, etc. But i don’t see any real problem to it. There’s also the software I purchased for PC that wont run on MAC. But someone mentioned about a “crossgrade” which i still have to do a little research on for my Photoshop CS3 . I was told that i can just inform Photoshop that I switched from PC to MAC and they can give me license for the software. If that would work, it will save a me a lot of money.
I also found a useful website for MAC users, not just for new MAC user like me. www.versiontracker.com They have a wide list of software downloads and updates. That’s where I found out about www.openoffice.org. Openoffice is FREE software for word processing, spreadsheet, etc I didn’t want to buy IWork yet just to open my excel file so im so glad i stumbled upon that.
So if you guys are thinking of switching to MAC from PC .. i’d say dont be scared. Just jump! You wont regret it! ![]()
