Went MAC and I am not looking back!

I have been in the Microsoft camp since the DOS days. In 1986 the 1st owner of Tele-Acoustics purchased a IBM PC with a whopping 64MB RAM and a 10MB hard drive. From there I have tried all the Window iterations. I finally grew tired of the overhead of my time. If you are a Windows user think about all the supporting applications it takes to get anything done! I have been watching the costs of supporting Windows servers in an Enterprise environment grow at an exponential pace. All of this cost and there has not been vast improvements with stability in Windows for years.

My shopping for a new computer brought me to some basic needs:
*Portability
*Fully functional web browsing
*Rugged
*Photo viewing, editing and publishing
*Easy to use so my family can enjoy it as well.
The new Netbooks caught my eye and a colleague bought a ASUS eee which was small, ran a flavor of Linux but the screen could not do Internet videos or pictures justice. When I saw the video of the making of the macbook unibody case I was sold on the MAC hardware.


Talks in my office found that 50% of the geeks I surround myself were closet MAC users. Comparison of PC to Macbook specs saw a $400+ premium on the Mac side. The marketing people can easily justify a net zeros difference. With EBAY i was able to shave dollars off and save from paying sales tax. So without further research or trying one I placed a bid on a 2.4GHz 13" unibody Macbook with a upgraded 500Gig HD.
