I just don't understand this attraction to Mac's OS... why do people seem to think that it's so great? My experience have just been limiting, annoying, and weirdly configured... I know some of that is 'what you're used to', but the point is, if you're used to Windows I don't see how there would be such a great benefit to going to Mac OS. I don't think there would be any.
... right, Macs have one advantage, few viruses. Eh, I've had my computer for four years and don't have a firewall (do have norton, updated when i remember to do so), and I've downloaded all kinds of stuff over the years, but the one time I got a virus it did nothing and Norton immediately caught the (one) file and got rid of it... yeah, some people get their computers killed with viruses/spyware/etc, but that doesn't happen if you know what you're doing. (my computer has all kinds of problems, but it's four-plus years old, and runs arguably Microsoft's worst OS... and since I do know what I'm doing, for the most part, I've always been able to fix its issues.)
