In Response To: Re: Off Topic: macs (Dan Thaler)

I've been making my living with computers for about thirty years now. I don't find Mac computers to be better or easier that Windows or Linux computers and I've used them all to make a living. That being said, the hardware is usually pretty good and Mac OS is pretty sturdy. I don't care for it, but that's a purely personal thing and has nothing to do with the quality of the product. Be aware that you can also run Windows in parallel with OSX. I know a lot of developers and IT personal that use Macs for that reason. The underpinnings of the Mac are BSD Unix, so they can have all three worlds on the same box. I can't make myself pay the Apple Tax, but as I said, that's personal.

You'll find it pretty easy to use. Hope you like it.
