This entry is posted from Safari on my sparkling new iBook. Yup, that’s right, I am now more or less a switcher - even though I have no plans to discard the Windows PCs just yet.
So far the experience has been nothing but positive. Everything is intuitive - and delicious looking - and even though I’ve found myself guessing keystrokes or how to do things with the mouse I have generally been able to guess it within a few tries.
Thumbs up to Apple so far - and thanks to the generous soul who is unknowingly allowing me to post this from the comfort of my couch due to his open WiFi…
Don't forget, you most likely won't get the viruses that are so common with windows.
I am planning the switch too. Its so nice that you can use your favorite GNU tools as well as having an intuitive and well functioning GUI that doesnt require the tedious setup and maintenance that a linux GUI does.
Should be getting my 20" iMac soon....
Munter, one of my main reasons for finally caving in and buying the iBook was exactly the whole GNU tools availability / delicious GUI on top of a 'nix-style core. Very yummy indeed.
