hi. i'm a very new mac user. I moved to mac this week's monday. so i've been using the mac for 4 days now. it is different. so different that I can't describe it in one mail. I can say thoug, that I haven't tried to go to my windows computer yet. I do like mac, and it does things what I need (msn, skype, mail, twitter, web browsing) very well. i've used it so litttle, that I can't tell much right now. I've heard that the text processing isn't so good as it is on windows. as I need to write lots of text at school, I decided to install windows on my mac book air with bootcamp as second OS to do my school stuff on it.
