You will need it, as my hard drive crashed @ 6 months and my screen went out. Apple care is quick, I will give them that. I am not the only one, just google it and see the mounds of issues folks have. I am sold on the operating system, but not on the hardware. I am undecided as to go all Mac as I still have 3 PC's.

It's speed and functionality is amazing. With a PC I'm afraid I'd just waste too much time (they're slow). I'll look out for your tutorials.

So far so good. I am extremely pleased with my Mac and yes Parallels was a perfect choice to be able to run my Real Estate programs. When did you switch to Mac? Hope you'll pop back in and give me some feedback on the tutorials I put together. See you on Twitter. ;-) Ciao. Hey Ricardo,

Well don't worry, you'll certainly be pleased with it's functionality. I was concerned too when I made the move to a mac. Primarily because I run my LOS software on it and I really need it to originate loans. But like you mentioned, parallels has allowed me to overcome that obstacle. If you need tutorials on how to navigate through the mac you know who to contact; none other than Jeff Turner himself! :D Good luck with the new mac...oh and by the way, thanks for connecting on twitter.

I know that there is so much more to learn and I am really enjoying the learning process with this new Mac. Thanks for stopping by. Hi Christopher,

What is it that you like about VMWare Fusion that Parallels doesn't have? Yeah that command button threw me for a loop at the beginning. ;-) Hey Charles,

I have since learned that the Windows PC was more of a waste of time than anything. I have grown to love my MAC and would be lost without it as a trusty companion. You will celebrate in the near future when you realize how little work a mac truly is. Jennifer,

It sure is a lot fun isn't it? I think I would have also purchased the one2one training if it had been available to me, but unfortunately we don't have an Apple store here (I think one might be opening up here in the fall). It's nice to know there are quite a few of us Mac newbies out there right now. ;-) However, while I was doing my Mac research I came across a number of great resources for beginner Mac users and I plan to share these fabulous resources in future posts. Yeah, our local MLS is only compatible with IE :-( Thanks for stopping by. Hey Brad,

I have asked myself numerous times since I got my Mac why I didn't make the switch sooner, it must be that "creature of habit" thing. ;-) I am so glad I decided to step out of my comfort zone. There's no turning back now and I couldn't be happier about it. Sue,

I too am a 15-year PC-user-cum-mac-enthusiast. I got my Macbook Pro a few months ago, and haven't looked back. It's a sublime operating system. Though I prefer VMWare Fusion to Parallels for my PC/Virtualization needs. One bit I found frustrating in the transition was the ctrl-cmd-alt-option key layout differences. That has taken some getting used to, especially when it comes to keying around in word processors and such. More detail on this if you are interested on my blog: http://blog.badmotorfinger.com/category/mac-stuff/ Also, get to know "Spaces" and "Expose" (F8 and F9) and those little nuggets alone blow away PC and Linux, imho.
