How many of you use Macs? DD gave me a crash course yesterday and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Although, the scrolling thing is a little tough to get used to.

I have been a Mac convert for over 10 years now - love them! I know that there's a fix for the scrolling to make it "normal", but I can't remember how off the top of my head. I'll see if I can find it for you. Enjoy the new computer!

You mean the scrolling thing where it's the opposite of what we've always used? Yeah, I don't know why they have to change things like that. Anyway, you can fix that. My dd told me how to do mine but I've forgotten. She's still sleeping but if no one has come in here to tell you how I'll ask her when she wakes up. eta: I found it all by myself, lol. Aren't I smart?  -- Go to "system preferences", choose "trackpad" and uncheck the box that says "scroll direction". It should go back to what you're used to. |

I got a MAC about 6 years ago. I can't see myself ever going back to a PC. I have to use a PC at work and HATE IT!

Love my Mac. You should go into settings and customize everything for yourself. Are you using a mouse or trackpad. I so much prefer the trackpad  |

I have both a PC, a Macbook Air and an iMac - and much prefer the Macs! Enjoy getting used to your Mac. |

We switched to a Mac just about a year ago and love it! Still things I need to learn but really am enjoying the beauty of it.

Yup, I've been on a Mac for 10+ years and don't ever want to go back. My husband is a MacHead, so if you ever have any questions I'm happy to ask him.

For a long time I swore I would never buy a Mac because of the price. I am so glad I changed my mind. First got a desk top, then a MacBook Pro. Don't think I could go back to a PC.

I've been using Macs since the fall of 2007. I won't ever, ever go back. 7 years later and I'm still using my same MacBook Pro. In my opinion, you get what you pay for.

Another huge Mac fan here.
The intial price may be higher and there is a learning curve if you've been a PC person, but they are worth it. We have virtually no issues with our Mac.
I cuss my PC at work almost every day.
Enjoy it!

These posts make me smile! I've been Apple since it started! It has been interesting to see/hear those that have converted from the PC world to the MAC world.
Post if you have questions there are quite a few people that can help!

My parents just gave us their mac desktop. So far we really like it. One thing I HATE is the mouse. But I've learned that there are regular mouse that do work the mac.

I was a hard nosed PC user. I had PCs at work and I had HP laptops for years. I would say 15 years. Well I got pissed off at my HP when someone wanted money for something again and said eff it I am getting a Mac. We already had iPads and a Mac desktop and DS had a MacBook Pro.
I talked to Apple on the phone and asked them to help me build a super machine. Love this Mac. Love it love it! Not a stitch of trouble! Love this baby!

My father bought a Mac in 1984 and has been a Mac guy ever since. It's what I grew up with. We switched to PCs for a while but when I needed a new laptop for work (I work at home), I got a MacBook Pro Retina. I love this thing. Seriously. I actually run Windows on it for work, but when the work day is done, I shut down the Win side and have a beautiful Mac to play with. The scrolling thing drove me nutty too. Glad you found how to fix it. |

Like some others on this board, I've been Mac since 1984. It's the only computer I've used. (My husband did development with the Lisa, which was the Mac forerunner, too.)

I've always just used an ordinary Logitech cordless mouse. The one I have now has a teeny little thing that you stick into one of the usb ports, then just leave it there. My older one had a longer thing that went in the port so I had to take it out when I was done. Putting it back on the mouse was what turned the mouse off. My current one has an on/off switch and like I said, the little usb part just stays right in the computer. |
