Sorry, Alex. You are mistaken this time.
I have been in the tech field for many years! Therefore, I have seen enough of
all!
Your statement below proves invalid.
I have not had any problems with PC at all.
You do not have enough proof to prove what you believe!
No arguments here.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Mac and pc
There is a lot more to it than that, and your assertion that Mac
software is more expensive is simply not true. Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all free
on new Macs, while it costs at least $100 (usually more) for similar applications on
Windows. The Mac includes the App Store, so restoring apps to a new or freshly
reformatted Mac is as easy as signing in and choosing the apps you want to re-download.
No codes, license keys, activations, or anything like you deal with with paid software on
Windows. Also, VoiceOver on the Mac has never frozen on me, and when it crashes (which
is rare) it restarts itself and is talking within five seconds. Windows screen readers
all have stability problems or other oddities that make them harder to deal with, and
Windows itself loves to lock up on me. On the Mac, even if an app freezes, VO simply
reports that app as "busy" and the rest of the system is unaffected, whereas
all of Windows locks up in a similar situation. Yes, Macs are more expensive, but they
last longer, are usually lighter and smaller, and are upgraded longer. Plus, they tend
to hold their resale value much better than some Wal-Mart special laptop, so if you want
to sell your Macbook later you can probably get more for it.
I encourage you to visit www.applevis.com and go to the page for
new Mac users. I have a couple articles there about the pros and cons of the
Mac, getting started with basic apps, and so on, and others have helpful
articles and podcasts. This should help you get a better idea of what is
involved in switching. The Macvisionaries list
([email protected]) is a great resource, but be warned
that it is pretty high-traffic.
For the most part, Pages and MS Word are pretty compatible
nowadays, Complex formatting might not transfer well, but the basics (fonts,
margins, spacing, etc) should. This particular issue is not specific to
accessibility, though, so I'm sure plenty of articles are out there that talk
about it in detail.

Haya,
I remind you that there are PROS and CONS in both.
Neither can be perfect as you would like them to be.
Macs are popular here, but PC are still used. Macs cost even
more than PC does.
For software, PC has even more software for less money while
software for Mac are fewer and cost more.
For me, I would rather go for PC since I am most familiar with,
and it is by far easier to deal with. I care less about Macs. Not the top
priority..
The con for PC is, a lot of folks dislike Windows 8. I do not
bother that one; I go with Windows 7. That is it.

Subject: Mac and pc
Hi folks,
I'm trying to decide whether I should get a Mac laptop or a pc.
I am fairly sure I want a Mac, but I want to know how well the
Mac can cope with a document that was written and formatted on a pc and more
importantly, vice versa. Macs are very uncommon here and I have to be able to
turn in homework for my university classes. Any info would be greatly
appreciated!
