Hello all
I am new here
Alright, I have been a PC user for around 10 years... I learned how to use windows on my own as a little kid and I am now very competent (in my opinion) with PC, everyone I know who has a problem with their computers comes to me, because I always have the answer, if not, then I know where to find it..
Never in my life did I ever think of getting a Mac, my reasoning was that my sister had it, and me and her, we are total opposites I love her to death, but we just dont agree on anything when it comes to stuff we like so I always made fun of her Mac and she always made fun of my PC.. (We were kids) atleast we agreed on that
For the past year, I have been checking out the new Macs, they just looked so cool and I keep saying Ill buy a Mac. A year ago, I went and bought an HP.. Loved it at 1st, but I got sick of it in 6 months, plus I had a virus scare around 2 months ago and it really bothered me even though I fixed it and got rid of the virus, somehow it seemed too late and I am just not able to forgive my PC.. and I need an upgrade, and I am Soooooo NOT getting the vista with the bugs out there for them to fix, and since there aren't any XP's OUt there; and so began my new search for something new.. All I know is that I want something new and different..
Three weeks ago, I heard about the macbook air.. and as I thought it looked cool and the concept is NEAT, I just can't see myself with such a thing, I just feel like it is gonna fly off in the air if I leave it outside (which i wouldn't, it's just a figure of speach).. so anyway I decided to buy a macbook..
So I have now been thinking about my macbook and I cant wait to buy it.. but I am very hesitant.. because I dont know where to buy it from.. here or Australia.. I am leaving the country on the 14th of Feb, so I have around 2 weeks here at home.. and I will be living in Australia for the next 2 years or so..
So I want your advice.. what should I do.. the one I want is the macbook black with the 160 GB HD.. and I really want the bamboo tablet
My questions are:
*Does it come with iWorks? If not, should I buy it?
*Can I have MS Office AND iWorks on it?
*Should I get the .MAC?
*What else do I need, as I am going to study abroad, and I need my office (word, powerpoint and all of that college stuff)?
*I draw and paint, do photographs.. Can macs be fun for that?
*Also I blog, so what does .MAC offer..? am very interested in signing up 4 that..!
NOTE: if youre all wondering what my sister has now? She has a PC..
Thanks for reading all my ranting
