Don’t you love those “I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC.” commercials? My favorite is the one where the PC guy pushes all the money from Vista repair to advertising. It was total frustration with yet another Vista snafu that finally sent me to the Apple Store. A Boomer, I share more characteristics with the chubby PC guy than Mac’s laid-back hipster. I learned on PCs when they were the only game in town; and, you know how it is, you stick with what you know.

My daughters have been trying to get me to give up on PCs and move to Apples for years. Huge fans of the Apple universe since they first used Apples in grade school, all three of my daughters own MacBooks. Whenever I’ve complained about lost data, broken connections and error messages, they roll their eyes and chorus, ”Get a Mac.” I always held back because I didn’t want to go through the pain of learning a new operating system. Fortunately, these days that’s a non-issue; so, after another frustrating day fighting with Vista, I took the plunge and went online to the Apple Store.

I love my new Mac. It shares so many similarities with my old PC — but none of the problems — that making the switch has been a breeze. In the six months since I embraced the Apple universe, I haven’t had a single problem. I am never going back to the dark side.
