So, I have made the decision to get a MB Air because I needed something small, light and portable, with a decent battery life for my new job. The laptop I was using is basically a brick with almost zero battery life. Toting it and keeping it near an outlet was is a drag. The Mac arrived a few days ago, and it's like a spaceship landing. I'm treating the thing with kid gloves, mostly because I have read earlier threads that the machine does not appreciate being manhandled in any way. I'm almost scared to breathe around it!
Anyway, I am a long-time Windows user. Love PC's, have no problems, even with 8.1. I have to admit switching to a Mac OS is like walking through Wonderland. Everything is similar, but oddly different. I am slowly working my way through learning the environment. I won't say it is awful, but it seems take a few more steps to get to the destinations I need to get to, LOL.
Now, I have a question: I understand the OS is updating soon, to Yosemite. Should I stay with the one that came on the machine awhile, or should I go ahead and upgrade when the new OS is released? I am already receiving error messages that some programs won't work unless I upgrade (like iCloud integration).
If a few long time Mac users would chime in, I would be grateful.
Sorry for the long post.
Thx in advance!
