I speak/read/write English very well and have used every version of Windows since version 1.0. I currently use Windows XP, Windows 7 at work. I have used linux, BSD, Solaris for the last 10 years. I have been using Mac OS X since Tiger and am currently using Snow Leopard. I also remember System 7-9 days from when I was in school. I am afraid that I still do not fully understand the main point you are trying to make. If you do speak another language natively and really want other people to understand, perhaps you should explain it in your native language in the hope that some kind soul will help you translate your ideas better.
I think the main confusion, as has been expressed already, is that most of your explanation has nothing to do with the title of the thread. When I read the thread title, I was expecting to see something about how you convinced your family to switch. You give a bit of background on you and your family before the switch, but I am left wondering about the reaction of your family members after they purchased Macs. A little more on their reactions would be nice. Also, how many Macs and what kind were they? Details would be lovely here.
Where it really gets confusing is where you start mentioning KDE and EDE. Are you talking about the K Desktop Environment and the Equinox Desktop Environment, GUI environments for unix-like systems?
I think the main problem is that you are trying to make several, loosely-related points about why you personally prefer different parts of several operating systems. I agree with you that a short post cannot do it justice. I suggest you take your time and write out a long post explaining in detail exactly what you are trying to say.
Of course, my suggestion is based on the assumptions that you really want your points to be understood and think it is worth the time. If any of those assumptions are not true, feel free to leave us all confused.
You or someone with knowledge of your credentials wrote it in post #28, immediately before my long reply in post #29.
Ya I think we have english problem has some of my other thread here I my self having problems reading it.
I think what I should do is start other thread and not talk about too many things in one thread.
The mentioning of KDE and EDE,Aqua and DLL files and registry should be in other thread not here .It is just confusing everyone.

No. There should just be no discussion with you in it. Period. You've shown your inability to write coherent English sentences already. Nobody wants to hear you. Ralph, please go.
Part of the confusion is this thread is all over place .I may know what I'm doing but not the reader .
It is like some one making a thread saying why the homes are cheap in New York city and you start talking about the city streets and schools.
And mentioning of KDE and EDE,Aqua and DLL files and registry made people say what does this have to with I got my family at home to all get Mac computers!! .
I could make new thread and make it short has possible but still I do not know if members will understand it.
