I am thinking of changing to the Mac operating system from Windows as I am sick and tired of the blue screen when it crashes. My Computer and laptop are only about one year for the desktop and six months for the laptop old. But as I have used windows for years I updated my hardware to brand new stuff after years of second hand stuff in the hope that this would stop my problems with the windows operating system. Unfortunatly all to often it crashes and I have been told that the Mac system is a lot more stable and more enjoyable to use. Any one out there got any views on this as your advice is most welcome.

I have used Mac now for a year. It has been great. Almost no crashes or problems. I own a iMac and Powerbook and I'm very pleased. Just ask if you have any spesific questions!

Cheers

Used both for years. There is no comparison. Mac is the way to go if you're going to invest in a computer. Be warned, using it can be addictive and may take up more of your time, not because you're trying to get it to work, but because, frankly, it's so much fun to use. Welcome to the "light" side.

Sounding good so far what is software like for them is there a lot of it and what is the performance like, I notice they only seem to have 600-800 processors is the mac software smaller in size or does it need less power to run it.

Mac has a different bus architecture compared to PCs. On a regular computer 600-800 MHz ain't fast, but for Mac it's their prime speed. Honestly, Mac is faster and produces less crashes than Windows.

i once asked an avid MAC fan to go to a website where i would find him a PC that was more powerful than any MAC currently available...he then opened his web browser and it crashed...dont beleive all of what you read cos some people talk sh**.

MACS do look nice though.

I can't see the point in lying to a person wondering if he will convert to MAC. I would not say that it is super-stable and great if it wasn't!

Still not totally convinced it is the right thing to do but one main question which been a coach driver it is very important. Can I use a autoroute with the mac laptop and desktop as I use this for job pricing giving me millage fuel cost driving time and so on so it is very important to me that I am able to use such a program.
