Apple lists 10 reasons why people should switch to Mac. What's your first impression with a Mac if you've never got the chance to put your hands on it? A powerful eye candy that never crashes? A guy named Russell Beattie stands out to tell you no. He came up with 33 reasons to switch back and the comment aroused an interesting debate. If you are thinking of joining the Mac world, read through the post and face the fact: Mac is not perfect. Actually it's still far from being perfect.
My own experience with Mac fails to support the hype that Mac never crashes. Yes it does. And the worse thing is my only solution is to press the power button long enough to shut it down manually. The other reason keeping me from totally switching to Mac is its poor support for SPSS, the statistical package I live on. I can't blame Apple since SPSS inc. should be responsible for that too. But no matter what, SPSS is hardly usable on Mac. That parly explains why my iBook serves like a 12-inch-screen iPod now.
After I visited Georgetown, I realized that I can't study well in an "Apple university" if I don't have Mac.
I've got ipod classic and nano. The place I am working has one power G4, two power G3 and one iMAC. But we barely use them except graphic designers. I tried several times playing DVD on them and none of them works. Neither was the disk not readable, nor the video player crashed down when it was playing video. MAC is just like a plastic bottle with a plausible impenetrable outfit or an aristocrat in the world of computer, exquisite but vulnerable. More importantly, like you said earlier, it is extremely incompatible with the softwares we usually use on PC. In one word, the only products you are suggested to buy are its mp3 players though
