Guest guest37336 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK, I am a technophobe and have barely an understanding of computers etc. But I can honestly say without the aid of Mac products over the years' I would be COMPLETELY dumb when it comes to this subject. I have written several articles on my Mac, several books, and designed several websites, I am not saying I could not have done this on a windows machine, and I admit I am somewhat biased. But this thread is for those of you who love their Mac machines/mobiles/displays etc. Come on, lets put up some sexy pictures of Macs in all their glory, and some advice about Mac products. I know there are loads of Mac users/experts out there, and I would appreciate some sexy conversation and pics,:goofy:. PS. I owe this thread to Dawny,:notworthy::notworthy:, as she got the old juices flowing again about my Macs,:jiggy:. Cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducktape Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 well I've only been a mac user for 3 months and the difference began when I opened the box, simply beautiful, well packaged... Started it up and it set up internet connection all with such ease... I've found no problems with it has yet to 'crash'. It deals with large photo files and modifying with such speed. I have moved from PC and it converted files over with a click of the button. My files are compatible with my PC friends or work colleagues. Not wanting to boast but I got the 27 inch version, I had to sit half way across the room when I first got it. I can open up several applications and work simultaneously on them. They are simply brilliant machines now I've made the switch I m not sure I could go back, WELL worth the investment. My ipad 2 is coming soon...

Guest Guest31881 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A genuine question from a PC user, I have never used a Mac but i did think about changing when i brought this PC I am using now... My questions are. Do you have any compatability problems with things like "Microsoft office programs" word, excel, etc, I receive and send a lot of documents using these programs Do you find any web sites, that are not compatible with the Mac.

Hi Colin. Numpty here. I can honestly say that I have never had any problems with the web compatable issue. I also many moon ago tried to run several windows programmes on my Mac, a few cliches, but this was over twenty years ago, so hopefully things have got better. Far more experts on here mate, I dare say they will be able to answer you. Cheers Tony.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hubby won't allow a PC in the house, the mere thought makes him go cold. We all use macs and no problems, we have microsoft word, but even with the mac word processing software everything can be opened by PC users. Only issue we have is some people still use very old word software so can't open docx documents - so we just re-save them as .docs. Yes some software is only for PCs but there is usually a mac equivalent. My current rant is that DVLA do not make the theory practice software for driving test for Mac!! none of us have ever been infected... ever and we have been using macs for many, many years now.

Har00n Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 none of us have ever been infected... ever and we have been using macs for many, many years now. Give it time, give it time... the popularity of the mac in recent years has made a more worthwhile target. Indeed, the latest Mac defender issues are a prime example of this. Saying that, i don't own a 'MAC' per say, i have created a hackintosh though, which does the job for me... refuse to pay the exorbitant prices, its all intel inside anyway....
