Wow, totally thought this thread would die.
Nice to hear all the apple love.
My new favorite since switching back to apple, has to be front row. I know some people have mixed opinions of it, but it's so seamlessly integrated into the os. Plus, all of my family guy and southpark episodes are ported into itunes, so that makes watching them in bed so easy

spotlight is lame because it doesn't really find everything... but other than that, I love apple to death!
My first computer was an Apple IIc, man that was SO LONG ago. I loved it so much, and I considered it rather 'portable'. After that I had a couple of random's, a mac 512, mac plus, then unfortunately ended up playing with dos/windows.
A few weeks ago I ordered a MacBook Pro, this will be my giant leap back into the Apple family.
I bought my first iPod when the iPod mini came out. Sold that then bought a nano. In some ways I think the iPod has helped me make a decision to move back to the Apple family. the iPod is such a good quality device, I love it. It really has reminded me how good apple hardware is.
My first web page was created on a Mac, using BBEdit, back in about 1995. It had a banner image, and some text, a few other images, a background image, thats about it. remember when HTML was just that simple!?
looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

I've always used Macs, but in high school I used Windows at school .. and now in college, I work at IT, and I have to use Windows every so often.kntgsp said:
The biggest thing for me is the interface. The interface is what makes Apple good and Windows bad. Sure, I could get used to XP's luna or Vista's Aero ... but I could also get used to snorting eggs up my nose, but that doesn't mean I will.
I am a graphic designer, and I want a intuitive and productive enviroment, ane Apple's interface is easy to use and productive. The way Apple cares about it's customers is shown through their interface. If Microsoft actually cared about their customer's expirience, then maybe they'd have the same ease of use as OS X.

The start of the sentence is where it goes in Windows. Perfect for word processing and fun fun fun.
Also, whilst I know that the Windows uninstaller doesn't remove everything, it removes a lot more than simply dropping an app package in the trash. Like prefs and fun fun fun.

on my powerbook the home key is fn+left arrow key or sometimes it is the apple+left arrow key. obviously you desktop people won't have the function part of it all, but you have the home key. try apple+home or something. there is a way to do it.
whichever one works, i use it all the time.
different applications use it differently.
apple programs use the apple+left arrow combo to go back to the beginning of the line.
word uses the fn+left arrow key.
apple+left arrow key goes back one word at a time.
you can hold shift while you do it and highlight the whole line. its a wonderful key combo.
laptop users should use it more, instead of the trackpad. don't get me wrong, im a prolific trackpadder, i love the apple trackpad, but theres no substitue for a keyboard shortcut.
I switched to mac about 6 months ago and the first thing i noticed (like most) was the clean interface. None of that plastic blue and green. the moment where i thought 'wow thats so much simpler' was my discovery of 'Expose' in the system preferences panel
