I've gotten to know Windows machines pretty well over the years. Didn't know about the backup function. Sounds pretty nifty. Thanks. Same here.

However, I have gotten pretty good at keeping machines stable and backed up. I have a Windows Media PC that I built in July 2006 that I haven't had to rebuild and it typically runs fine for about a month solid without even a reboot. Another cool feature of Macs is the ability to create a mirror image of your harddrive on an external firewire drive. If anything goes wrong, you can just boot from the firewire drive and not loose any data, settings, etc. Stefson – I have had my iMac for about a year and a half and I haven’t had to reformat or re-install (even with it being the first Mac I have owned).

Funny thing that happened when I visited that Apple store the other day. I was asking all kinds of questions regarding Apple PC's and the OS. One question I asked was 'How do you format a Mac?' The salesperson looked at me with a puzzled look and said 'format'? I'm like 'Euhm yea format, if the pc gets screwed or something.' He then smiled and said 'You're a Windows users right?' Have any of you ever had to format and re-install MAC OS? Thanks for the comment.

I posted a comment on your post: <a href="http://www.stefson.com/125/macbook-pro-vs-asus-g2s/" title="Macbook Pro VS Asus G2S" rel="nofollow">Macbook Pro VS Asus G2S</a>. However, I forgot to mention the customer service <a href="http://openswitch.org/2007/09/28/the-office-of-steve-jobs-called-me-today/" title="The office of Steve Jobs called me today" rel="nofollow">rocks</a> <a href="http://www.glennwolsey.com/2007/10/17/apples-customer-support-continues-to-amaze-me/" title="Apple’s Customer Support Continues To Amaze Me" rel="nofollow">too</a>. @Johno - I agree. I can't wait. I am somewhat of an OS junkie and the new OS X looks amazing. I think I will have to upgrade on or near the 26th and just work though any issues. @Stefson – I don’t think you will regret switching to Mac.

I can't wait. There are also some interesting new font-related changes to Leopard, that I've just read about here: <a href="http://typographica.org/001113.php" rel="nofollow">Grading the New Font "Features" in OS X Leopard</a>. Some of those new features look pretty promising. It's the wait that kills me.... I’m looking forward to Leopard too. I can’t wait.
