The computer science teacher I work with told me so. He has been trying to
convince me to go Mac for years, and says there are no worries about all my
Microsoft programs and data working on the Mac.

Huh????????? No way. In fact, that's one of the nice things about the
Mac environ. It doesn't lend itself to the viruses that plague PCs.

I've seen him running windows programs on his mac. You can't do that? Not
even Office?

There is only one way to run Windoz programs on a Mac... with SoftPC
or similar... Microsoft makes a program also.

However, Microsoft makes Office for the Mac environ.

The data is the same on both systems.

yes, I'm reading that now at http://www.apple.com/myths/
here's some of it:
"Contrary to popular belief, Mac and Windows get along perfectly together.
They run the same software. They talk to each other. It's a small world
after all."

The only quibble I have is that Macs are supposedly easier to use than
PCs. Well, sort of. But, it's only been recently that you could get
down into the guts of the Mac without having programming skills...
this is all thanks to Unix of course.

true. you could probably replace mac and windows with bush and kerry and
have roughly the same argument. Would be a cool social studies lesson.
