Keep the mac. Use bootcamp. You will love the mac and want to marry it...it's only a matter of time. <grin> The best thing is that it is a consistent, reliable machine without the bizarre Windows crashes and mishaps. I use XP via bootcamp, but I'm actually purchasing a new laptop with XP so that I can reformat my mac and use it solely for the things it does well--garage band, iChat, ICal, Itunes, text edit, etc. Then I can use the PC for the things I must do there, though I'm finding I have much less need for it now. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Robinson Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 8:38 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: List of emails Hi Keith, I appreciate what you are saying, but I'm finding the Mac so frustrating. Sure, I only got my MacBook a month ago, but I find myself wanting to go back to windows! I'm not sure whether to stick with the Mac, install Vista using BootCamp, or just sell the Mac and buy a Vista laptop instead. Don't all start offering me your hard earned dollars though! I'm in the UK and wouldn't want to be shipping the MacBook abroad. :-) Ian On 12 Sep 2008, at 19:25, Keith Reedy wrote: > Ian, > > I have been using the MAC for more than 3 years now.
