I just wanted to thank all for the info they've given me so far, it's much appreciated! I kind of disappeared, I know, due to a busy weekend. I will be picking people's brains over the next little while so please have patience with me too! Really appreciate the info about fb, gmail and twitter btw. :)
I feel like I did before getting the iPhone, I was on the fence until I finally took the plunge... then was petrified for the first few days I was using it. After about a week or two though, I started learning things and taught myself... now I can't imagine not having one. It sounds like the same can be said regarding Macs? My biggest erm... hang-ups I guess... are that I run a wifi network from my current PC that my parents feed off of with a network cable through a router. I am totally clueless as to whether or not a PC/Mac network is possible and what it takes to do that, if so. I also have my programs that I use with Windows... I'm set in my ways... with mp3 players, mp3 volume amplifiers (I hate using soundcheck for CD volume normalization) sound editors to create ringtones, etc. I'm just very fearful that there will be something I take for granted now that won't be available after switching over and by then it'll be too late, you know? Thus the education... all answers so far have been quite helpful though so keep 'em coming and thanks! :) -Marc On 4/1/12, Jennifer Perdue <jlperd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi I'm Jenny, > > I found it hard to make the switch at first, but with the people on this > list and some patience I wouldn't go back to windows if you paid me.
