Last night, Chris and I got on the phone together to discuss my first experience using a Mac. We had an excellent conversation, which was of course recorded.

Kat… welcome to the wonderful world of the Macintosh. I know that you are not “switching” but I think you will find your self using a Mac more and more. Eventually… I think you may make it over to Mac. Cal me crazy… but give it a year. You’ll see that “It just works”

Why must it be Mac vs PC? Because some people don’t realize a Mac is a PC, and Apple was once thought to be the founder of the PC industry with the Apple ][.
As for what Chris says about Apple being closer to the Cloners(Dell and so forth), here’s a few quotes:
“Alan Kay said, ‘people who love software want to do their own hardware.’”
-Steve Jobs, 1984 and 2007.
“An iPod is really just software. It’s software in the iPod itself, software on the PC and Mac, software on the cloud for the store. It’s in a beautiful box, but it’s software. If you look at what a Mac is, it’s OS X. Right? it’s in a beautiful box, but it’s OS X. And if you look at what an iPhone will hopefully be, it’s software. So the big secret of Apple of course, and not so big secret maybe, is that Apple views itself as a software company.”
-Steve Jobs, 2007 D5.
“Apple’s fundamentally a software company”
-Steve Jobs, 2007

Nice to see you playing with that Mac after all the trouble you had with the original startup…..darn RAM shift in shipping.
Anyhow, enjoy the Mini Kat, I love my Macbook and it is all new to me as well. I can’t wait to get more into it and be able to discuss more.

Hi Kat
I am a window user and mac user.
the one benefit I like about macs is that you can choose your start up disc.
Some pc’s are going that way but mac have hadthis for ages.
So if you have problems you can plug in an external and boot of it.
No reason pc’s can’t do this.
Cheers
