I have used Mac since I left DOS. I have a Dell, as I write grade
book software. Since I got a MacBook with Parallels, the Dell laptop
just sits. If nothing alone, just doing a search. A Mac can search
the entire drive in seconds, including looking _inside_ documents. XP
slogs through folder (ahh, yes, directory) after folder so slowly you
can see the files going by. They tell me I should miss the right mouse.
As far as help, before I retired, I was a Tech Coach at 4 elementary
schools teaching kids and teachers. There were over 600 Macs. I
also was to keep the servers (Mac), computers and printers going. If
a computer really broke, there was a repair service for that. Still,
I am not sure I could have handled that many PCs.
(I am writing on my Mac. Can't remember when I last rebooted it.)
Best Wishes,
