I just know that she is very happy with her PC after having had a Mac ... likely rare/strange but true. Me, I never liked the Apple Computer when I was in school, but that was back when the monitors were still monochrome and the icons were too hard for me to decipher.
If I wasn\'t so deep into software, I \"might\" consider checking it out again, but by the time I would get a new Mac desktop and Mac laptop and all my software in a Mac version and Apple Care ... well, you do the math ... we are easily over $5K for ... ummm, no gain in performance. I hope you can see my perspective, here.
If I were starting \"clean\", I might feel very different about it, but the OP was talking about changing from PC (Xeon processors) to Mac ... a very expensive proposition, that I was just trying to figure out if it would result in actual performance gains worth such an expense.
