 New user to Apple and Happy to be 1% September 2, 2003

Interesting to see all the whining about various things and user threatening to go use Windows. Go ahead. Deal with the Microsoft nonsense, the nonstop security updates and the constant virus updates for my virus scanner. I just bought an ibook with OS X 10.2 installed in it and I love it. I am a NT/2000 Systems Administrator and I have 2 Windows XP machines at home but I thoroughly enjoy using OS X. I use it exclusively to do work at home leaving my XP machines to be expensive doorstops. I recommend that users buy one of the OSX books that list the hidden features/recommended settings to get full functionality of the OS. We NT/2000/XP user's have to buy these books also because nothing in Windows is documented and Microsoft has everything turned on in it's OSs at install so everything (including security) is wide open which is bad because a lot of applications/services that ordinary home users have no need for is hogging a lot of memory. Although I must admit paying so much to upgrade to Panther when it comes out is something that I am not looking forward to.
 Stable system, pleasant to use August 16, 2003

After being ready to jump ou of "Windows" for years and making volumes of blue air over the "blue screens of death", I converted to Mac and OS X last year. It is like going to Heaven after years of pure purgatory. The transition was practically painless and my beautiful desktop was joined by a sturdy iBook this year. I have no problem sharing documents with my still be-shuttered Windows friends and my home office network works just fine with 2 macs and 3 PCs, all chatting comfortably together. Don't hesitate a minute!! Join 10.2 and stop defenestrating.
the best operating system in the world!!!!! August 12, 2003
this is the best operating system period! the mac's had to change their operating system! its the best one out there. its cool because every application isn't apart of the operating system, so if the program crashes, your whole computer doesn't crash! if you have a mac/thinking about switching, you have to get this one!!!! or wait and get panther (10.3)
 two things I hate about OS X August 6, 2003

1. The difference between OS X and OS 9 is greater than anticipated. I've been using Macs since 1987 and was a bit flummoxed at first. There's some non user friendly stuff you have to deal with. It's not like going from OS 7 to OS 8 or OS 8 to OS 9, where anyone reasonably Mac savvy can get acclimated quickly. OS X is way different, too different, and different in annoying nonMac ways. Yeah, think different, thank you Steve Jobs. 2. Font rendering. Jaguar has smoothed fonts THAT YOU CANNOT TURN OFF ABOVE 12 PT TYPE. It is absurd that the Mac, supposedly the computer for creative media artists yada yada does not give you the option to turn off font smoothing altogether. Anyone who loves to read clear sharp text will not like this.

I can do anything you can do only I can do it on the first try. I just completed my upgrade to Jaguar from 9.2. It was easy and more importantly problem free. To be honest I am a long time Mac user and as such I may be slightly biast in favor of all things Mac. However, my boyfriend was not, and he insisted that we have a PC in addition to our iMac. He is now a convert!!!!!!!!!! I took three people, all of whose jobs are to provide tech support to the unfortunate PC owner, to get his laptop up and running! I guess PC's provide lots of job security. More importantly as long as you have Microsoft Office for Macs you can switch back and forth between platforms no problem. Plus, according to Microsoft, their office suite for Macs is better than the one they make for there own operating system!
