I am toying with the idea of making my next laptop replacement a Mac. I'm quite happy with XP, but I'm curious to see what all the fervent preaching from Mac fiends is about, so I went asking and looking for a suitable FAQ for potential converts.
The Apple website is more interested in getting me to buy things than answer basic questions, and a Google search of Apple or Mac FAQ brought lots of hits about the history of Apple, invitations to pay money to join .Mac and all sorts of other things, but nothing remotely like what a relatively experienced PC user but a complete novice on Macs would want to know. Such as a translation of processor speeds to give some meaningful comparison (G3 G4 G5 etc means nothing to me), comparative RAM requirements, network compatibility with PC's, software compatibility with existing PC software, limitations of use in conjunction with PC's etc.
Can any of you Mac evangelists direct me to a site that will tell me what I want to know? (Reddo, I bought that magazine you suggested and it was a waste of money for what I wanted.)
