Mac or PC??
So.. my husband and I want new computers. He a desktop and I a laptop. We have been PC/Windows users since we started using computers. All of the software we have is for Windows, etc. Can someone answer a few Q’s for me??
1 – How do I get our pictures and music from iTunes off of the desktop if we decided to go with a Mac?
2 – What Mac laptop should I get if I want to play games (like the Sims or something)?
3 – Right now we have a Linksys router and I have a wireless adaptor thing for my laptop. What do I need in a Mac laptop to be connected to the network for internet stuff and will a Mac desktop work with our router??
4 – Will Windows software work with a Mac? I don’t want to upolad windows for Mac, that seems like a waste, am I right?
5 – Are Mac’s better machines??
6 – What else do I need to know?
