My computer is fixed! The very nice man who fixed it for my only charged $67. I picked it up on my way home from work. I've even given it a hug. Tomorrow, I'm backing my files up so I don't have another heart attack if it dies. He told me my hard drive is slowly dying and suggested I start looking into getting another computer. I'm still on the fence about getting a Mac. I dunno, I dunno. However, I do know I am going to have a new computer by the end of March. Mark my words...
For those who are Mac users... How difficult was it to switch from a PC? Were you able to convert all of your files fairly easily?
I'm still deciding if I want a desktop or a laptop.

All the standard file formats work on a Mac like they do on a PC. Installing a program is as simple as dragging the program to the Applications folder.
Not sure what programs you use a lot on the PC, but a few useful Mac apps are:
- Adium is a multi-service messaging client.
- iPhoto works just fine for basic photo editing like cropping, red-eye, etc., but use can use the open source freeware called The GIMP. it
s pretty powerful.
Here's a link with a few:

Of course, one of the great features about the newer Macs is that you can install Windows on a separate part of the hard drive and boot into it should you need to.
