LOVE-ing the New Mac

I recently went from a PC to a Mac. "Mac-Daddy" is really what I want to shout for some reason (ha ha ha).

I was pretty ambitious too the day I converted, I also abandoned Microsoft Office for the Mac version of iWorks. I thought I had bit off more than I thought I could chew (but when have I ever not been that way???).

So I like it. Its been one week and one day since my rebirth of sorts and I'm getting to know the tricks and shortcuts of iWorks that I knew in Office, a few I have yet to learn, and I've found that the Mac is helping me be more focused than the PC. Here's how:

Mac does not come with Freecell, Spider Solitaire, Hearts, Pinball, Solitaire, etc... except Chess and Chess, as we all know, is the game of kings, warriors, and any person in a place of strategy and skill (all components of focus).

Mac (well, more specifically the web browser Safari) has a feature that previews recently/frequently used websites and it lays out all options together (games and academic sites) that face me with my choices and priorities.

Mac, I believe, uses monitor space more efficiently. I have a 13" for two reasons: it was significantly cheaper than the 15" and I like the smallness of it. So space at that rate, is prime.

Mac's keyboard is quieter as you hit the keys. Really nice for the Tetris aspect of my class time.

Nuf said. Mac you've won me over and it took 8 days.
