I don't know about that Dave, the only real getting used to a mac is the buttons on the top left instead of top right. Installing cfm was a pita but the average user wont be doing that, other than that is not to much different (on a mac anyways), Linux was 10X as hard to get used to but OS X was a snap. For the "average" user like my mom, I would dare to say it's easier to learn mac then pc.
" I submit to you that it would be easier for most users to learn those three things than to learn a new operating system " if that was true we wouldnt have all these problems on pc because no one would fall for them and they wouldn't matter. " much less install it themselves" installing OS X was quite a bit easier than xp and xp isn't hard. Not to mention updating is a snap with OS X and doesnt crash your system when you do it and you don't have to do it every other damn day to keep up. ---------------------------------------- From: Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 10:05 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Any Free/Low cost anti-spam/anti-virus software? > That wasn't in direct responce to you Dave, it's in general > and I don't think you can say that you are an "average" user ;) > > I went from windows/linux to a mac pretty effortlessly, the > only real issues I have had are the constant subconcious > naggings to run the system cleaners, run spyware removers, > scan for viruses and rebooting all the time.

I submit to you that it would be easier for most users to learn those three things than to learn a new operating system - much less install it themselves.
