--Folks--

I have exactly ZERO idea what you folks are talking about!

I recently ditched my Sony Vaio PCG-K35 for a MacBook Pro, 13-inch size. My laptop has to sit in my backpack on the job, and the 11 pounds [including 140 watt brick] that this laptop demanded got on my nerves. And it basically destroyed the muscles that form my back! Finally, an update to the the AVG anti-virus corrupted the vaunted XP, and the monstrous laptop stopped working. I managed to save all my data, and import it to the new MAC.

Fed up with the whole Windows thing, and since it seems like EVERYONE at my company [Fedex] is buying one, [along with about 10 years of urging from my best friend~] your's truly just bought a MAC.

SO far....I can't see how OS is really any better than XP. It has it's stupids, just as XP does. What astounds me is how fast this computer is! My old Sony used to take 5 seconds to open the local newspaper website. This new MAC takes about 1 second for the same thing! Open Google Chrome? I was used to clicking on it and waiting 10 seconds for AVG to decide that it was indeed "safe"...and then Chrome would open. This one opens Chrome instantly. Less than half a second!

This computer works so much better I can't believe it. I will say, that the track-pad is not as good as the Vaio. I could barely touch my Vaio pad and do what I needed to do, but this new MAC needs more force, and it is easy to give too much force and click on a website that you are not interested in, while the websites that you find that you like and just give a "tap" to open...don't open. You have to "pound" the key down to get it to work. And OS has no adjustment for pad sensitivity.

Any help you MAC types can give me would be appreciated!

N!
