Windows: '[M]ore error messages than help files'
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

Apple has posted new 'switch' stories and this is the most amusing crop yet
Apple has posted new "switch" stories on its Switching to Mac: Real Stories webpage
and these stories are hard edged, yet funny. One user states that the Mac experience
is best summed in the word "WOOHOO!," while another ponders what do with all of the
desk space he has after replacing three PCs with a single LCD iMac.
Here are some highlights from Apple's 'switch' stories page:
� "...you�d think there�s some hidden setting that tells it when to crash, and the
default setting is �the most inopportune times."
� "When I first opened my photo editing software and applied a particularly difficult
and resource-hogging filter, only one sound issued from my lips. WOOHOO!"
� "It�s patient. It�s reliable. It�s FRIENDLY."
� "But more than that, my iBook is sturdy. Don�t tell anyone, but I�ve dropped it� off
beds, down stairs, on concrete. It�s slid back and forth in my truck on bumpy roads,
no problem."
� "3 weeks later I sold my windows machine on ebay, and I centered my iMac perfectly
on my very huge desk. I am now more productive with one very small computer using a
fraction of the power one of my [three] pcs were using."
>From the mouths' of babes... Image how smugly cool they'll feel in a couple months?
