| As I post this, your post is over two years old. So you've gotten through it-- or not. Others thinking about the switch may read your questions and my answer. I must say to them: don't do it. Even though it's still quite early in my struggle I've seen enough to know it ain't worth it. The best you can hope for after a nasty relearning curve is to be as competent with Mac as you were with Windows. But the Mac still won't be as easy to use. The Mac "equivalents" I've learned so far take more keystrokes than Windows. The biggest reason I tried to switch was the expectation of things being more straight-forward. Just the opposite is true. Take Window's 1-key "print screen" maneuver compared to Mac's Shift+Command+3+click to capture the screen. I barely have enough fingers. The iPhone I bought at about the same time I got my iMac has no copy and paste at all!!! This post will be described by Mac lovers as whiney. I'm just telling the truth. There's a damned good reason Mac is very small. |
