between an operating system and an application, how much stock would you put in their opinion? :shrug:

As opposed to some on this thread who have not used or worked with Macs in a long time or at any length, I can work in both a PC and a Mac environment. I have both systems at home and have loaded software, networked them and switched out peripherals on both platforms and find the Mac much easier.

Some examples, for the PC, I had to locate an IP address and change system configurations for networking. For the Mac, I plugged the network cable into the wall outlet and was done. For my digital camera, I had to load software and mess with settings. For my Mac, I just plugged it into the USB port, it recognized my camera and launched iPhoto. I also have a .mac account and can download photos, edit them and publish them on the Web in about five minutes.

If you look at any of the instructions that come with dual-platform peripherals, there is almost a 2-to-1 ratio on instructions for setting it up. Why is that?
