In my previous post, I espoused the amazing and wonderful virtues of Apple computers. Brian Janaszek rightfully pointed out in the comments section that Macs are not as perfect in every way as I may have suggested; there are a few technical problems here and there. But I think most average users would never be confronted with said problems.
Having said that, I did encounter a problem this morning that was more than a little annoying. Lest you barrage me with "I knew there was a catch!" comments, it should be known that the problem was with one of the few Microsoft programs I use on my Mac. Microsoft Entourage (an e-mail client) has been crashing without explanation for some time now and I've chosen to ignore it. But this morning, it crashed repeatedly while retreiving my weekend e-mail to the point where it would no longer download anything before it crashed again.
So I moved all of my e-mail over to Mail, Apple's e-mail application. The transition has been seamless thus far, though I still need to get accustomed to the new program.
I know I said that Microsoft's Mac version of Office was competent. For the most part it is, but I'm finding less dependence on Redmond is proving better all the time.
