I bought a Macbook, and quickly upgraded to the Macbook Pro. As a PC
user and IT Professional, I can honestly say it is a very nice laptop.
Perfect? No... but quite nice.

Office runs just fine on Macs, in fact look at Microsoft,
www.mactopia.com and you can read about the Mac version.
PDF's are the native document format in the Mac OS. All you need to do
is print to a pdf from any print window. Some apps like InDesign export
to a pdf due to their publishing needs. If you need more than that,
Adobe has a pdf package for the Mac.
btw, Apple's laptops are selling faster than any other segment and due
to the ability to run Windows in parallels, you can have both worlds.

Continue using your PC.

Do you want to end like the Maccies in here? The fact that Mac use
turned them into the shambling, brain dead things that they are is
reason enough to flee the Mac.

This is not really a PC vs. Mac issue. Since Macs are actually PCs
now and are tooled to be the only computer that runs OS X easily. This is a
Windows vs. OS X issue. I would advise that you try out OS X somewhere
before you buy. You may buy a Mac and pay a lot more for it and wind up just
using Windows on it. If this is the case then you will have saved money if
you buy a non-Mac PC. If you want to run both for sure, then buy a Mac.

I have to agree with you. Over the whole life of the Mac and it's OS,
it's created a subset of crazy kook zealots. They are so nutty they don't
even know the Mac is actually a PC now.

Neither. All computers suck!
But if you insist, we'd need specifics. What do you want to do with it,
which do you prefer, do you have any existing software investment, and
what's your budget?

Facts are facts. Read the collected 'wisdom' of Jim Polaski and Alan
Baker to see what I'm talking about.

The Mac has always been a "PC" in that "PC" stood for "Personal
Computer" and the Apple II was the first affordable consumer PC.
Along the way after IBM brought out it's competition to the Apple II,
users called it the "PC" when it really should have been a "Windows PC"
and it too was a "PC".
However, in the common usage "PC" has meant a "Windows desktop computer
running Windows out of the box" and a Mac ran OS 9 and now OS X and did
not run Windows out of the box.
Your song is getting old slade. Time to wisen up and not look so foolish.

Stating unpleasant facts is not namecalling.

Then you'll agree that those who called me a Windows advocate based on my
handle, PC Guy, were in error and that I'm an advocate of all PC related
things...including the Mac?

Correct, except for the "when it's justified" requirement.

Oh! Now it's clear to me. When they say I was name calling I thought they

LOL. So I guess when Jimmy Lee was lambasting PCs, he was talking about
the Mac too. Yea right.
I see Jimmy Lee or whatever his name is, is back up to his old tricks
when someone points out that Macs are PCs now that they run Windows on Intel
CPUs. The poor dope hasn't realized this yet or he keeps repeating that
tired old BS just for spite. I plonked him months ago as he hasn't much to
say. The same old anti-Windows drivel that bores people to death.

It's a Mac Advocacy NG, but you complain when we advocate the Mac to

Well, gee, PC Guy, I guess you don't mind me calling you an ass then, as
it is certainly an accurate description of how you act on this
newsgroup. Indeed, I can add the word lying to that description, since
you started that thread saying you wanted to start over, no hard
feelings, just knowing (and waiting for) a reply that would justify, in
your own mind at least, your continues namecalling in this newsgroup.
And, in fact, I can honestly add the word hypocritical to your
description, since you have no problem with the lies and namecalling
done by such winscum as zara and Muahman, but when a Maccie answers in
kind, you get all upset. So, I guess you have no problem with me calling
you a lying, hypocritical ass, right?
