Pros and Cons of Switching From Windows To Mac 629
It's been a couple of years since Apple ran their Switcher ads — but folks are still making the switch. Rockgod writes to point us to his list of pros and cons after he switched from Windows to Mac recently. From the article: "It took me a long time to be convinced that Windows 3.1 was a better program launcher than X-Tree Gold, but it happened eventually. Since then, I have been a sucker for every upgrade — 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP... I bought the cheapest Mac available, a Mac Mini with a single-core Intel chip and the minimum of RAM — 512 MB. It cost me AU$949. Since plugging it in, I have barely used my $3000 Windows desktop... All this time later, I have almost exclusively switched to the Mac."

That's implicit in his statement. He said he took every upgrade...

That's right. Once you stop using Windows, people won't think you're so gay.

Back in my day if you wanted graphics, you taped a picture to your monitor. As far as color we had none. We were given black or white and loved it.

PC Dad to son: you can have sex, but only with people you're sure about. And always use a condom, just in case.
Mac Dad to son: Go ahead and have sex with whomever you want, any way you like!

*sigh* yet another /. circle jerk on how Windows is inferior to other operating systems. Reading slashdot when Linux, Microsoft or Apple come up is like watching Fox News during elections.
*sigh* yet another ideological circle jerk on how Fox News is oh so biased when compared to other news outlets. Listening to ideologues when Fox News comes up is like reading /. articles about operating systems.
