Raw Comments from a (Very) New Mac User

[Cooknn]

My buddy's girlfriend needed a new laptop, so I convinced her to get a MacBook. Before she ever turned it on, she mentioned to him that she hoped that she didn't make a mistake... They came over the other night and I gave her a copy of Robin Williams' The Little Mac Book - Tiger Edition. She was getting on a plane for Thailand the next morning. I figured there would be time to read it - 15 hour flight from her connection in Chicago

So, I just heard that she sent an e-mail to my bud. It went something like this: "This Computer Kicks Ass!!! The first time I turned it on in the airport I was immediately connected to their wireless network and on the internet! I didn't have to do a thing!"

Heh. I knew she'd like it

That's good. Another Switcher.

I love how people try Mac's for the first time and are amazed.

I haven't heard anything else, other than the fact that she's happily computing. I'm sure the book is helping.

Sounds like you're trying to steal his girl!

Awesome! It's these kind of stories that make me know I won't be making a bad decision when I finally pull the trigger. Cheers!

Don't get me wrong... I love OS X...

But seriously, if you love your computer just for auto-connecting to open WiFi connections you're asking far too little.

Windows will auto-detect WiFi connections and connect you to them as well -- though sometimes it'll say they're insecure and ask you if you want to first.

For a basic user (web browsing, music, mail etc.) coming from a Windows machine to OS X makes it the little things that make everything more enjoyable.

That feature isn't specific to Mac users...

The e-mail I referred to above came a few days after the airport wireless endevour. I'm sure she was just throwing out one of the many things she was digging about her new Mac

Heh. Well, I did ask if she had a sister
