Very similar story at my end: belligerent XP user won’t move because he just can’t see any point and everything he already has works, except half the web which he just avoids.
I disagree with those saying it’s an obvious jump to later versions of Windows. Notwithstanding that there’s still a curve, and the general decline of keyboard and screen reader accessibility since XP, I can’t help thinking that if you’re going to change you may as well change to a platform of your preference rather than simply continuing to pedal the treadmill. For example, somebody opposed to ribbons may prefer OS X for its menus. Quite a lot has changed in Windows since XP; perhaps changing platform is more than just the screen reader. Even somebody with limited patience will be happy to learn something they see as more appropriate and amenable to their needs. The Mac Mini is a nice machine, and it can be made to work well standalone, but especially since the removal of the quad-core version I tend to agree with the person who said you may as well go for an Air. For a first Mac experience, it’s going to make a far better impression, too. The Mini can be for later, when the spec bump is worth the slight inconvenience of not having a monitor and not having the portability, though perhaps a more powerful machine (an iMac) would be on the cards if they were really committed. JMO, of course. Cheers, Sabahattin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
