I love the Mac too – after years of being a dedicated PC user only. It’s intuitive and creative to use, and it all seems to work together so well.
I have had setbacks though. I spent some time trying to master Keynote – just for the hell of it really but alos to wow people with a different look and different effects. When I came to give my presentation (an induction event) on Monday, I unplugged the PC from the projector, plugged in my laptop and …
… although the image on the laptop was working fine, the picture on the screen was different – I was getting two slides simulaneously side-by-side, too small to read easily and with do transition effects between slides. This was disappointing to say the least! I guess that once I am in a permanent home, I can play about with that kind of thing in advance, make sure it works properly, but for the moment it strikes me that the whole world is set up for PCs and the Mac user has to struggle to overcome barriers and resistance at every turn.

I love my Mac!!! I remember using Macs in secondary school, and finding it a bit odd when I first changed to PCs. However, I soon got used to PCs, and for the next seven years or so I was completely PC based. This changed when my husband got a PowerBook … wow! It’s so easy to use, and I fell in love with its sleek, silver casing. We eventually got rid of the big, clunky desktop PC and have only used his Mac for the past couple of years. I’ve never enjoyed using my school laptop. And now to have my own MacBook … wonderful! One of the things I have been realising as I have discovered new software is that my Mac is so instinctive. That’s the word I have been using lots recently. It’s so straightforward and clear to use. I tried to begin using a PC piece of software last week, and I gave up, thinking that it would be so much clearer on a Mac! Of course, I still have to use a PC at school, but I agree that once you get used to both you can switch easily between them both. But for me, Macs rule!
