hello my old pc is dying its a really old piece of trash and i wanna replace it with a mac ive already decided on a mac mini because those built in monitor ones are expenisve as **** also the mac mini is just more space compliant on my desk so tbh is there anything i should know before switching from windows 10 to mac os?
Mac OS very much like Win10 (and Win7 btw) has its own AV and it's pretty sophisticated. The opinion here for many of us is that AV products for mac, clean up products, 3rd party management programs have a tendency to do more harm than good. Two noted exceptions on this forum are Etrecheck and Malwarebytes. However; this is a volunteer forum and we don't speak for Apple and AFIAK the vast majority of us don't work for Apple or never did.
SE/30! And even the Quantum 40mb hard drive stiction flaw didn’t dampen my joy of that machine. Owned it for 4 1/2 years, installed a color video card and upgraded the RAM. My wife used it in her office for a few years and then I repurposed it as her email server...a dongle provided Ethernet support.
My first was a MacPlus with a Massive 1 Meg of RAM.
I forget the brand but also had a Huge external 40 Meg
Hard Drive. The joys of SCSI, to terminate or not to terminate,
that was always the question.
At work I was enslaved to MS-DOS at the time which was a
real compatibility adventure with the myriad of PC vendors
at the time that each had their own idea of how things should
work.
Always got hassled about my Mac with the most common phrase,
"Real men don't use GUIs!"
scuzzy - haven't thought about that particular hole of hades in some time. I'm glad Apple finally terminated it. FW and USB have their own oddities but there was nothing like wasting an afternoon trying to diagnose a SCSI chain fail.
macjack's links are a good start but a very long time ago I switched from Windows and I wish a book like this one had existed then: Missing Manual
How long ago was that? The first Missing Manual was 2002! Nevertheless less, has always been an excellent book.
Was 'given' my first Mac in 1990 and totally switched from Win3 (ack!) within 3 months.
Mac Classic! I never had one of those. I also never owned a PC, started on Apple lle first Mac was a PowerMac 5600, System 7.
i am a new mac user
