windows guy going to macs

[GWN]

Mac user since 87 as well. Feel free to PM with any questions. The forums at apple.com are a great resource as well. Just like here, lots of FOGs willing to help a newbie without giving any attitude with the answer. In terms of what's new, etc, I keep an eye on tuaw.com and macnn.com

The first Mac I used was a 512Ke with an external floppy drive and a blazing processor speed of 8Mhz. I was really flying with my Mac SE30 with its 68030 chip and 16Mhz. processor speed.

I now have an aging Mac PowerPC Dual 2.0Gb desktop I bought two months before the switch to Intel chips and a Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo (Penryn) 2.4Ghz processors.

SE was my first, (upgraded it with a 20MB external, woohoo) though I worked on a plus before that. Now new Intel iMac (plus an eMac and Spring 2001 iMac) at home, MacBook Pro at work.

Might as well add my Mac genealogy too.

Mac Plus --> SE --> SE FDHD --> Classic --> Macintosh IIsi --> Quadra of some kind --> Clone of some kind....

<<break from macs >>

PowerMac G4 AGP --> iBook G4 --> PowerBook G4 --> MacBook (Core2 Duo) --> back to the PowerBook G4

Add me to the Mac long time user. I started with a Mac Plus; SE, Classic, Classic II, PowerBook G3. Currently I have a Quicksilver G4 and iBook G3.

In between I dealt with the wife's Dell, which after multiple upgrades it went to all hell and crapped out. So I built her a new and awesome computer last June with all the goods, but I still prefer Macs.

You would be surprised, the white is much more difficult to scratch than you think and really does not get all that dirty. Mac changed the casings because of those very reasons. The programs that come with macs now are fairly nice. What are you looking to do with your Mac?

I had an apple 2e back in the early 80's...now I have a 13" Powerbook G4 and a 20" Imac desktop with the duo Intel processors. I love my Macs!!
