I got my first PC in 1986. In the nearly 20 years since, I have been using some variant of DOS or Windows.

But in the past few years, I have gotten more and more frustrated. I do not have the time to commit to troubleshooting. Now I feel like I need my own tech support guy.

When my wife and I quit our jobs and set off on our own, we decided now should be the time to try something new.

This past June, my wife and I stopped using our PCs. We bought Apple Macintosh computers.

Mine is a 2.0 Ghz, 20-inch iMac G5 with 2 Gigabytes of RAM. Hers is a 1.8 Ghz, 17-inch iMac G5 with 1 Gb of RAM.

Whenever friends or family visit and see our office, they almost always ask us about our Macs.

It has not been 100% smooth sailing, but we both love our Macs.

So we decided to share our experience with you.
