Calling all Mac Users

[ip241au]

Welcome to the club. Go to your nearest Apple Store to the Genius Bar. They can help you learn about the MAC. They also have free seminars on how to get the most out of your MAC.

I switched 4 years ago and would never go back.

Enjoy the internet as it was suppose to be.

I couldn't agree more! I love my mac, and dread having to fire up my old PC to find a file that I forgot to transfer over.

If you have any programs that are Windows format only, like some of the performance and loading calculators that Cessna provides for the 10, get Parallels and you can install Windows XP or Vista on your mac. It's awesome, just open it up like you would open any other program, and you've got a window that looks like a mini Windows desktop...all running on top of your mac OS. I have heard though that the windows portion is susceptible to viruses while it's open. I don't keep it open any longer than necessary.

As everyone has said, the Mac just works!

The best thing to do if you're new to Mac is to forget how to use a computer, pretend you know nothing about computers, and finally ask yourself "WTF is a computer?" Once you have cleared your mind of all Windows EVIL, you have reached Mac nirvana and you're ready to power it on for the first time. Please take note that when you power it on, you will need no instructions, drivers, etc. Also if you ever add something all you do is plug it in. An excellent example would be the iPod... be sure to carry a backpack to work and spike your hair a little so the older, Window-based pilots will make fun of you even though they're jealous.

Please don't forget to pray for your Windows-using brethren or, as I like to call them, the Unenlightened.

Peace be with you.

See thats the problem with the MAC...

It gives access to people who have no business using a computer.

Just like the automatic transmission has allowed people to Drive who have no business being on the road.

I'm a Mac user and I have an automatic transmission... ORM = HIGH!

That will be a real shock to those of us who take great advantage of its UNIX underpinnings. (You know UNIX -- it's the thing that most of the internet runs on!)

And I can program the FMS very well, thank you.

 

[gunfyter]

UNIX....

Real Geeks write code in machine and assembler level languages... 25 to 30 yrs ago for me. Does anyone still use Fortran with WatFIV?

Oh good, I must make sure they pair me with you when they cut the cord.

you need the browser Opera, Safari is not the best at reading or figuring out html. Firefox works well, but OPERA is better. CA1900, were you at CommutAir?
