    A friend of mine loves hers. She was a long-time PC user. After using her Apple, though, she said "This is how a computer is supposed to work!"

    Amen. Made the switch myself. Bought an iMac in 2008.

    Converted over to mac a few years back. They have a high price but you get what you pay for. Apple is known for keeping there new operating systems where they will be backwards compatible with their older hardware. I know that personally I'm staying with them for the foreseeable future (got burned with Vista).

    Listen to your son.

    Macbook Pro 17" laptop. 4 yrs old. Hasn't blinked.

    3 other family members converted to Mac within the last 18 mths. All regretted not having done so sooner.

    You have a very intelligent son, LISTEN to him.

    New creation of software that enables you to run all pc programs on the mac make it a little easier for me to swallow. Being a creature of routine I have my doubts personally about my compatibility with it but the kids seem to be keyed into it. The creative side of mac is touted as being superior.

    Yes, it's completely different. I think the latest version is called Snow Leopard.

    Take your son to the Apple store in Charlotte, NC, to look at all the stuff and have questions answered on the spot.
