Interesting article and find myself agreeing with what Ridley says about where the writer hopes to seek his income.
Took the plunge last year and got a Mac for home. Fine, had teething troubles in making the change, mostly I now realise because after Windows I expected computers to have problems and I tried too hard in setting up instead of letting the Mac do things perfectly. Says it all really, and once I learnt to trust the Mac never looked back for all the reasons given here. Still use a PC at work and hate every minute of it. Fighting to change that but meeting entrenched Windows thinking from a few people (the "brainwashed flock"!) who convince themselves that standardisation is more important than productivity.
Interesting comments here about the cost aspect. Mac can cost a bit more, but did not realise until pointed out here how much I am already taking for granted in terms of marvellously functioning software that comes with the Mac. Only extra software I have on the Mac is Office .... and guess which is the most problematic software on my Mac! Anybody here use Openoffice?
Right, fine, call this the zealous ramblings of a convert. Not worried in the slightest, found out that life is too short to live with the pain of a PC.
