Man, oh man, I've become an Apple fanboy
Some older relatives have a windows pc that's on its last legs. They asked me to recommend a laptop and set them up on a wifi network. I talked them into a macbook because I had heard good things about them, even though I'd never worked with Apple products. Still, I was dreading the task. Wow! Ten minutes from start to finish, including configuring the router. Nary a problem. All the devices played nice with each other right out of the box. When I left, my relatives were happily surfing the web. Count me as an Apple Evangelist.

1. I never thought it would happen to me,
but it did. My fall from grace was a 17-inch MacBook Pro.

As you can well imagine, I'm a bit anxious about tomorrow's scheduled rapture, primarily the likelihood that my MacBook will be raptured and I'll be left behind. :evilgrin:

5. Welcome to the Light...

you have been assimilated, brother.

We've run a mixed-PC/Mac home network here for close to a decade and Macs are so much easier to deal with on a regular basis.

8. I'm goin on 4 years and couting...
4 years ago I had just gotten to the point where I was able to work my way around a PC and around windows like I never imagined that I would. I could add hardware, add software, and do all sorts of stuff. I had just transferred all my music and movies to my PC. Then my brother in law convinced me to go mac.

Well 4 years, 1 Imac, 2 iphones, 3 apple tv's, and a macbook later I think it's safe to say my household is a Mac heavy one.

Never going back. I love not having to troubleshoot all the time.
