I still have and use a four year old 15 in PowerBook G4, but, when this one dies, I doubt I'll every own a another Mac. Reason is simple, I can no longer afford them. So, I have started making the transition to Windows with two IBM/HP clone creations, sharing a 19 in Dell display.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of all the aspirins for the headaches you get from Windows.

My Brother, my heart is sad! I hope this is the will of God. So many on AFF are leaving the "Old Paths" for the new ways and I feel like that is what you're doing leaving Mac. Have you prayed about it? lol If you haven't figured it out I'm "Mac died in the wool." Sending this message on a 17" MacBook Pro. Wish I had the money, (Lord forgive me, I've got the money, just ain't gonna send it to my Brother HaShaliach), I'd send it to you to get you a new Mac. God bless you. Don't quit posting even if it has to be on one of those evil PC's. I enjoy your posts very much!

Just received an email telling me that my new MacBook Pro has shipped from China via FedEx! Should receive it by Wed if not sooner! Woo Hoo!

As much as I am now a confessed Mac-man, set on departing from his ways, yes, I have been enticed by a son of mine. He fixed my Mac when the hard drive crashed, and then gave me a Windows system he had rebuilt (now that was the 'right' price! LOLOL).

Now I am in the process of moving my files and programs over to yet another Windows system that provides me with two hard drives and some good (for Windows) processor speed.

However, I still love (and use) my old PowerBook, even as this old mountain man limps off into the sunset - among the last of the 80's old breed.

I use a Mac Mini for work, and honestly, I feel the same about it as I do a PC. The Mac's OS is a little prettier, but you pay for that in higher prices and in a closed system. But the Macbooks do look very cool and are very stable.

It is always a bit hard to move from one system to the other no matter what those two systems are. However after a week or two I think you will come to love Windows 7 even more then you did OSx.
