MacWorld - Enjoying the apple once again

A few months back I called a friend of mine and boldly stated “I have seen the light, I purchased a Mac”. I was so excited to do all the things "Mac people" always talked about, making movies, listening to music, building websites, and never having computer problems again.

Well I guess I was not a true convert since I still held on to my old PC ways and only dabbled in the Mac applications. My email was still on the PC and I already had so much data on my PC too. The popular Apple slogan “Think different” kept ringing in my ears every time I tried to do something on the Mac, for it was nothing like my old PC and only presented me with new challenges and often times frustration, yes it was different alright.

But last week I had a change of heart, a kind of reawaking. On my visit to MacWorld in San Francisco I must have bitten into the MacWorld Apple because I am a believer once more. I think what changed my mind was the overall display at the conference that all things can easily work together on one operating system, that hardware and operating system should be designed by the same company and that updates are opportunities for innovation and not just security fixes. I have learned that thinking different is a refining process and my growing pains are not without support from other friendly believers at the Apple store and fellow users. It is hard to explain but MacWorld opened my eyes to new possibilities with my computer.

For those of you who have also struggled with the conversion from PC to Mac please know you are not alone and there is help.
