I made the switch to the mac almost a year ago. And don't regret it one bit! One tip I will give you is the same one someone gave me and it helped me the most. It's going to sound simple, but is hard to do and in the long run is the 1 thing that will help you the most. Forget everything you know about windows when dealing with the mac. Pretend you are knew to a whole new os, as mac and PC's as well as jaws and voice over are as different as night and day. I went cold turkey with the mac, sold all my windows pc's, and didn't by a copy for vm fusion on per pose. Once I learned the mac, and how to survive a little with voice over. I picked up a copy of vm fusion, and windows home premium. I still have a few things that windows can do that mac hasn't jumped on the band wagon yet, plus, I do a lot of downloading and media editing on the windows that I don't care to clutter my mac with. That's a personal choice. If you want to chat about it more, my contact info is below. And like I said before, I've been using a mac and vm fusion for almost a year. I'm not a pro, but know more than most. Good luck! Kliphton SR Twitter&skype kliphton72 iMessage&facetime kliph...@me.com
