i was wondering for the people out there who currently used or use MACS and also have used PCS is it hard to switch over? cause i was thinking im going to college soon and i currently use a PC so i was wondering if i should get a mac when i go to college?

is it that different? cause my friend has a mac and its awesome but i havent really played around with it just to check my email and myspace. but is it hard? or will i get used to it very easily.

Well...I've used Macs for a long time, since the early 90s, so I've seen them go from System 7 to 10.4. And I've used Windows since the 3.1 days (I still remember the day when my friend's parents upgraded his PC from 4 MB of RAM to 8--it cost about $400). And to be honest, I am really pleased with Mac OS X. It's a good, all-around user experience, is rock-solid, and easy to use yet powerful. Windows has some benefits, of course, but I'd take OS X over Windows anyday, myself.

It matters a lot what you plan on doing with it. If you're gaming, for example, a Mac isn't a good choice, but for the most part, that's the only place where Macs lag behind PC's.
