As a strong Apple non-fanboy, I must give props to whomever created the program between BeoPort and Mac. Yesterday, I did my second Apple/BeoPort install, and I was pretty nervous (never having used Apple). I can install a BeoPort correctly on PC in about 20 minutes. I installed BeoPort on Mac in about 4 minutes, if you count starting the machine up. With iTunes radio stations, NRADIO isn't very important, and NMUSIC worked perfectly. My client was so happy, he pulled the trigger on completing B&O for his whole house. Downside? I saw his account information and his family is spending about $100 each month on iTunes downloads, but I guess that's better than crack.

I can say this as it's the mac forum.. 😉
I gave in to the "get a Mac" brigade, and bought a 20" iMac. I nervously opened the box, nervously set it up, nervously turned it on, and within 5 minutes flat i was romping round the menus marvelling at how everything just "worked"
the best thing i ever did was get a Mac (after B&O of course), and i have never had one single functionality issue with it. The only weak link in the interface is ME !! 😂

Ah, is this the "coming-out" thread?!?
Ok, so I did it also and bought a MacBook Pro some weeks ago.
Haven't regret it so far, even if a lot of things are different to the Windows world - you have to get the knop out of you brain before you can really enjoy the mac.

Agreed! Most people who don't like OS X are trying to use it like Windows, and expect it to do everything in the same way. Things are different for a good reason, and I'm glad I switched to Mac!
If I could only convince my father to go Mac. He worries that no one will be around to help him with troubles, and I keep telling him there won't be any that I can't fix over the phone with him.
He went Windows PC because that's what all his acquaintances have - and he's had scores of issues ever since; including sending his workstation back for repairs and upgrades.
Think I'll just buy him an iMac as a gift - but by now that will only leave him weeping over what he's lost out on by not going Mac to begin with.
I switched in late 2005 after reading pretty much everything on the Apple website. And now, my father has a Mac. And my brother has a Mac. And my mother has a Mac. And my sister has a Mac.
And I'm using Linux right now, hating it. Come on, Apple - give me Leopard!
my dad had never used a computer before , he thought they were all pointless rubbish
a few months ago i gave him my old imac petal 17"er
he's been on it non stop ever since , loves itunes and google earth so much you can't get him off it now
:)
My dad's just switched to Mac as well, and is looking at moving his business across to a Mac network! He loves his MacBook, and was amazed when I showed him how you just plug in a printer and click print!
Amazed that his own company managed to muck it up so much!
