Macintosh vs PC - The Beginning

Well, for the first time in all these years I had my PC crashed. Fortunately, I saw it coming and was able to get all my files onto an external drive before it had to be laid to rest. For several days now I've been researching, contemplating, debating with my husband on which direction I should go next: a new PC or a Mac. I looked up everything I could find comparing the two - Mac vs PC, PC or Mac for website design, and Mac compared to PC for general office purposes.

I decided on a MacBook Pro.

It was a tougher decision than I thought. I was very comfortable with my PC running XP, but wasn't thrilled with how the Adobe products ran on it. I was due for some new software anyway. I started thinking of my old typesetting days and how I went from a Penta to a Wang to a PC to a Mac ... and fell it in love with the Mac. But the clincher was the fact that this MacBook Pro can also run PC with XP all in one window with the Mac X! The best of both worlds - at least that's what it seems.

So, I will post about this adventure as I progress. Maybe it will help you to make your decision if you should find yourself in a similar situation.
