 I love you Apple
Last year I was a Windows-fan(PM me and I'll tell you why) defending my system. I was told DVD would suck, and I set out to prove that wrong...I failed. What I did was buying a bulk ATAPI DVD-ROM wich (even though it was bulk) came with a floppy-disc containing drivers. I was really excited, cause I was told software was all over the net. So I installed this drive and spent 6 hours forcing my computer to take the 200KB driver. After countless reboots, I finally got it running as a CD-rom(hooray, Windows achknowleged it's existence). So I set out to find the software needed...this was trouble. I tried countless programs, none of wich supported my DVD-rom before I finally found one playing my DVDs, but shabby, glitchy and without sound. Where am I going with this? A few months back I bought the QuickSilver G4 computer with CD-RW, and today I decided to give it a try. I removed the burner and inserted the DVD-rom. As I pressed the power-button I was sure the Mac was gonna blow up, but it started booting OS X. Sure enough, not only was the thing fully supported by Finder, but I tried a movie, and it played perfectly in DVD Player. I love Apple!

Funny to see that Apple is better at dealing with third party devices than Windows !  Without ever using Windows, I would have still thought that it is the all around champ for managing third party devices... The Win World is such a mixed bag after all !  Well its a nice story, nevertheless ! Now I feel all warm inside !Would you mind telling us how you discovered the Macintosh way ?  |

Simple, I was a lost sheep. I was raised on Mac, and allready had great knowlege of the system, but by friends had Windows and I constantly heard of the ease-of-use. So as soon as I had money I bought an up-to-date PC. At first I said it ruled(I was in denial), then I convinced myself extra hardware would solve my problems... I'm back to Mac and all is well
