Can Patrick Make the Switch?
By Roman Loyola - Posted Feb 26, 2003
Welcome to Macintosh
Three months ago Patrick took his trusty Windows laptop, backed up the data, and stored it in a safe place. Since then he's used an iBook almost exclusively while keeping one question in mind: How easy is it to switch from Windows to Mac?
As our viewers know, Patrick's a serious PC user with an admitted bias toward the PC platform (he also admits that he was a devoted Mac user in the early '90s, but the cost of Mac products made him switch to the PC). That means he's not merely firing up his iBook and using a word processor or using the calculator. He's getting into the system and making tweaks. He's configuring settings for different network situations. He's editing and producing video and sound. He's playing a few games. Will his PC bias come into play? Perhaps, but aren't Macs easy enough to use to overcome any bias?
