Welcome Aboard!! Nice to meet you Chess :)

Welcome :)

:)Hi All,

I 'm from Toronto, Ontario in Canada. Since Toronto is considered a great hockey town, I have to let you all know that I'm a true blue MAPLE LEAFS fan!!

GO LEAFS GO

Love using the computer for a variety of things - business and personal, and am considering changing from a Windows PC to a MAC, specifically an 'Apple MacBook Pro.' If anyone would care to comment, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

CarBob

Welcome Bob. Hockey fan myself, here. Rangers, of course. I have little experience with macs, I'm strictly pc so I can't comment on that, but welcome to VDR.

Welcome aboard Bob!! :)

Hi CarBob,
For the last 15 years I have been working on Macs and PCs as I am in IT at a newspaper. In the beginning PCs were not good for graphics because of the limitations to memory and the workarounds required when needing more than 640 Kb. Macs however, were never very stable, hense one would say graphics were all they should be used for. I used to say, when I find someone using a Mac for their account receivables I would then feel safe to use one. Nowdays, both are stable and both have adopted the user friendly GUI that makes the user less intimidated. So either is fine and don't worry about all the arguments you may hear about one or the other from both sides. This is usually a bad topic to open but both Macs and PCs are good.

Hi dwanders,

:) Thank-you for replying to my post.

This forum really seems like a friendly and helpful one.

The main reason that I'm considering switching to a Mac is because the users claim that Macs never get viruses. Of course, there is an anti-virus program installed on my Windows PC, and so far, so good.

CarBob

I have a PC and never got a virus. Prevention is the name of the game. Of course, I am sure Mac users never told you that they would die to have the choice of programs that a PC user has. ;)

I'm not really new here but i havent introduced myself formerly so here goes.
