After a few days with my new toy and very small keyboard, I find myself spending more time sat in front of this beast. I now have a full legal copy of Office 2008 and Adobe Creative suite. For most long term Mac users, what I am about to say is common place and everyday just do it features that the Mac has to offer.
The fact that you power on the Mac, whichever version you have and whichever version OSX you use. It just works. I really don’t need to say much more than that. Sure the layout and functionality are different to PC’s, but I find that I can quite easily get around the desktop and not have to fight with the system. The Ctrl and C options are now Command and C to name but one of the subtle differences. Most of the music and web design software is Mac or PC, so no major issues there.
I still have my little cheese wedge iMac and my G4 which just needs space on my desk (if I had one now) to setup and dispose of the PC’s. As much as I use PC’s for work, I really don’t want to come home and fight with a PC for my leisure time. I want happy computing time. I have RDP on my mac for access to my work computers and I suppose that if I looked hard enough I could find a VNC equivalent or VNC for the Mac.
Apart from the fact this is a new toy, I am loving it. Did I mention that stuff just works on a Mac?
