PC Inertia - Don’t let it keep you from a Mac!

• They’ve been using PC’s at home and work for years and feel it’s easier to stick with what they’re used to.
• They are not aware of the better alternative Apple can provide for them.
• They feel that Apple is too expensive for them (Not true, in fact the new MacBook’s offer more features and performance than the competition for a lower price.
• They feel that switching over is difficult and that they’ll be lost with a new way of doing things. (Again, programs like Microsoft Office are available and the new Mac OS X is far more intuitive than anything preceding it.)

• You should simply be able to connect those peripherals to your computer and use it.
  That’s certainly the experience you’ll enjoy on a Mac.

Instant video chats
