LOL, I felt the same way. Finally, my darn PC died and I got to buy a Mac a little while back. It was kind of a blessing in disguise. I love, love, love it. I'll never go back to PC.

Things that I noticed when I switched. I don't have to load programs for everything anymore. I plug in my external harddrive and it just works with Time Machine (Oh BTW, my first mac had a problem with the wireless (but it was out of box), so they replaced the whole machine, I plugged in my external harddrive and it set up my computer exactly the way I had it all by itself...phew!). Another cool thing is the mail program is super easy. I don't have to look for silly codes online anymore to make the ports work. I can run a billion things at the same time and it rarely bogs down. When it does start bogging down, I usually just have to restart the program that is causing the problem and then everything is fine. It's very user friendly. It really didn't take me too long to figure out how to use it. The mouse is sensational. It scrolls all over the place. In a circle, from side to side, and obviously up and down. The only complaint I have about the mouse is that it is sometimes doesn't click properly because it thinks I'm trying to right click (it didn't do that in the beginning, I might have to trade it in for a new one) and it eats batteries like it's nobodies business. I have to replace them once per month. However, they do have a corded version, so I may just replace it with that. Everything is wireless, which is fantastic and it has a camera built into the screen. I just love that there is no tower; everything is in the screen.

Anyways, are those enough reasons to love a mac?

Have used a Mac for almost 15 years. Started with a high-end Mac G4 Tower, a real work horse, since died and now replaced with a 19" iMac. Expensive, but well worth the money overall. Only further cost is upgrading Creative Suite, so running with older programs. Since my work is primarily vector, not a real issue. For all you converts, it's about time. You will love the user friendly differance, and virtually virus impenetrable.

After spending $1200 on the latest and greated PC, only to have it crash a it week later (it ate the back up cd), I made the switch to Mac (for $500 more). There is no going back. I can create on Zazzle 4 times as fast as my old PC. Yes, I'll still use my old laptop because of photo files that are not compatable.
My grandfather always said that you get what you pay for. This is so very true. It was a bite to the wallet but really makes up for it by losing the frustration of dealing with the resource hog Windows.
If I'm not mistaken, you can get photoshop for Mac. There are great and cheap programs for the Mac and the transition does have a learning curve. Would highly recommend a portable hard drive, they work on both systems and are great for transferring files.

That's definitely a way to consider - I might have done that myself but the cables and other bits all over in my limited space would be a problem. A separate DVD player would have been essential for me (I hate being without install disks - even if I never use them!). Love my wireless keyboard and trackpad though.
The mini Mac does have the advantage over the iMac of only having to replace (or upgrade) one bit if it goes wrong.

You have inspired me to think out of the box. I too have come far with zazzle and have always hoped to make it my main source of income because it is not work it is FUN!
After reading your post I now know this is entirely possible.
Congratulations on your continued success.
