My name is Damon Wright. And, as seems to be the trend these days, I just traded in my PC for an Apple computer. Here's my story.
After working as an IT manager for a number of years, I recently made the move to freelance business consulting and writing and needed a more reliable computer that I could manage on my own. The Mac was that machine.
I'll readily confess, however, that there were moments of hesitation about switching platforms after coming from the Windows world. I was terrified, actually.
But everything that I'd heard about the dangers of switching from another user experience to a Mac was just not true. OS X is faster, more stable, and a lot prettier than anything I'd ever used before, and I was up and running in no time. One of the most surprising things was how effortless it was to transfer my files over to the new Mac. I had a tons of Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, movie files and audio files floating around on my PC's hard drive. But when I put them into my new Macintosh, every single file opened flawlessly.
The only catch? It was hard to sell my PC with integrity. Because when people asked me why I wanted to sell it, I couldn't say, “It's because I'm getting a Mac, and Macs are so much better.” You can't just say that to people who are about to buy an inferior product, now can you?
