Ok. I just have to share this story with some who will appreciate it.
I know there are people out there who have helped dozens switch.
There are people who have brought small or even large companies into the Mac fold.
My count is much more modest: parents, sister, brother in law, and a few assorted friends. I have been working on my brother (accross the country) for several years now.
I think it was the ease of use and integration of iPhoto and iMovie as well as my sleek Ti book which first started to move him. The "halo effect" didn't hurt and the intel switch neither.
He bought a MBP about two months ago.
I delt with the necessary windows switcher handholding like the midnight call "I don't know how to move a file!":rolleyes: and helping him set up his wireless network from two time zones away (he had a wireless router for his wife's laptop that they never could figure out). But eventually, he settled in and all was going well.
What is the point of this post? Well tonight he tells me that he no longer reads his two kids (6 & 8 ) a bedtime story. All they want is to watch "Hi, I'm a Mac" commercials on his MBP! They get two each night and they spend all day talking about which ones they are going to choose. (Their favorite is the camera one.):lol:
Anyway, after a decade of Mac Vs. PC battles, I can think of no more convincing evidence of my complete victory than the faithfull conversion of his children... :smokey:
