In my previous post I discussed about the three common excuses that people have to not switch to Mac. This is the second part of my SWITCH FROM PC TO MAC article. Today we are going to talk about:

Three reasons why you will be happier with a Mac

(1) Things “just work” on a Mac

I must say (if you haven’t already figured it out) that I am not a computer whiz – and I don’t pretend to be. This is why it is so great that things just work on a Mac. Whether that’s the printer that you just bought or had for three years, or it’s the scanner at the Department that just has not been compatible with the PC it’s been hooked up to for the last year and a half. For some reason, stuff just seems to work on a Mac.

(2) A Mac just feels better

I am so much happier when I start my day with my Mac than I ever was with my PC. The icons and text is much more visually –pleasing and programs such as Mail and Safari are much easier to navigate than the Windows-based alternatives.


(3) No more stupid viruses!

This is not to say that I had much experience with viruses, but I’ve heard many horror stories. The computers at my University have not been immune either – much of our expensive equipment runs on PCs – and many of them have acquired viruses or something of this nature. I guess I am expecting that there will be some virus created by someone out there that at some time will strike Macs, but as of yet – we have had little to no worries about this.

And so I am sure that this article will not convince everyone to make the switch, and I am sure that there will be criticism concerning the things that I have highlighted, but this is only a perspective. I was a PC-only user until a little over a year ago, and now I wouldn’t dream of ever going back.

What is my advice to the person thinking about this conversion? Do your research, and talk to Mac users – maybe even try one out – you’ll be amazed with the experience.
