I am a PC technician and completely frustrated with Vista. I also want to start Videos and I think the Mac is the way to go. I am also considering a Mac.

Had a Mac since the Mac Classic, and since then have more or less kept up with each major machine release. It certainly was all those years back a totally prestigious machine to have. I had to get mine as a non working 2nd Mac, buy several more non workings and mash em together. Didn't work. So moved to the Mac LC with color monitor. Up and till my 24inch iMac and my MacBook pro. Fundamentally they are my tools, they are what I am used to and it's what enables me to do my job, so at least for me I have a reason that I can justify to myself. So I say to myself regularly. I have worked on PC's also most of my career, so I have a healthy balance of both machines in the same design/commercial printing environments. Infact my first advertising job in my early 20's was using PageMaker on a PC, which I put up with for a year. Didn't like it one bit. For me Mac's are machine and a tool but a very cool and stylish one at that. Fulfills all my needs, mostly, and when I need a PC, I just boot up the emulator. Wonderful. I know some friends who run there own Web development company, and last year made the significant switch to Mac's, and they are loving it. Certainly worth seriously thinking about.

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 05:19:37 +0000 http://www.jimkukral.com/i-want-to-switch-to-a-mac/#comment-8746 I just made the switch this week. Not entirely, mind you, I will still need Windows for my day job, however I plan on using my Mac for everything else. You can't beat the amount of thought that Apple has put into every aspect of their computer: from the OS design all the way down to the power cable for the MacBook Pro. It's awesome.

There still are ways to make it happen, everything else was super easy :) Time machine alone makes it worth it. We'll catch up in Vegas though for sure and I will continue to shamelessly promote this thing. looks like I may be mistaken on the outlook stuff, i use an exchange server so that obviously makes things simpler.

So you're saying I can import my outlook files now? See you in Vegas, let me drool over that mac! Looks like your pic is messed up. Your gravatar is putting Greg's pic in, weird. John V.

Do it now :) I switched a few months ago, hands down one of the best things I have ever done. Haven't had any need for a PC since, and have no intention to ever own another one again. With all this video stuff you're doing you owe it to yourself to just make the switch already. I had a similar issue with Entourage as John above, but they actually just released a new version of the office suite for the Mac that I think solved that issue (as well as the other weird hang-ups office 2004 for mac had). See ya at Summit (with my MacBook). Do it. Do it now :) I switched a few months ago, hands down one of the best things I have ever done.
