Well well, how remarkably relevant. As a PC user for 20 years, I bought a Mac two days ago. I still have a fairly valid PC which I will keep with business stuff on it, but over the last few years the regular freeze-ups and general slowing down have frustrated the hell out of me so I decided to change. I know it's probably all fixable and I run spyware and maintenance tools regularly, but Mac owners have convinced me that none of that is necessary with their machines. We shall see.

First impressions - I'm still at the total confusion stage of course. What I'm looking forward to is not to have to subject myself to the frustration of things Microsoft - particularly Office Pro.

cheers, Terry
