First off, I would like to say thanks to Gio~logist for starting this discussion, and to Nexialys and Danny for the extremely useful information and insight.

My husband and I have been thinking about making this transition, as well, and I've been feeling VERY intimidated by the idea! Having used nothing but PC's up to this point, a Dell Dimension most recently, I'm comfortable and in my groove (read: set in my ways...hehe). However, if this transition will be as smooth and easy as you guys make it seem, I'm all for it, and would LOVE to own a MAC!

Having visited our local Apple Store, and the online store, I was amazed by their computers! There's no tower...the hard drive is IN the monitor! Just blows my mind that it can be done that way. I'm also the proud owner of an iPod Nano. Prior to receiving my Nano as an anniversary gift, I was happy just having a CD Walkman and didn't understand what all the fuss was about with the iPods. WHOA!! That TINY piece of equipment is like my best friend...it goes with me EVERYWHERE!

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that, I believe it's possible that Apple's technology reaches beyond all others. Their products ARE more expensive, but for a very good reason: they're worth it.
