Introduction to Macs for PC Users

video editors; some people like the look and feel of Macintosh computers, inside

and out.

Price

PC advocates often complain that Macs are too expensive.

However, Apple has introduced several affordable

computers, such as the eMac and Mac mini series. Also,

many Mac users will counter that they are getting more

power and capabilities than in a PC of the same price. Users

have to weigh the cost, capabilities, and included software of

a computer to determine what brand and model will work best for them.

Compatibility

While Macs and PCs existed in disparate worlds for years, new programs and

efforts have increased compatibility. Macs running Mac OS X Tiger, the newest

version of the operating system, can open PC files and coexist on local networks

with PCs. The recent announcement that Apple will begin using Intel chips also

signals that Mac—PC compatibility will only increase in the future.

Unfortunately, PCs have not made such extensive advances towards

compatibility. Many computers using Windows cannot open files stored on

diskettes that have been specially formatted for Macs. Also, PCs are unable to

open several file types specific to Macs. If you will be using both a Mac and PC,

be sure to save files in formats that can be opened by both computers.

For more in-depth information on file types that transfer easily from Mac to PC

and an explanation of the file-conversion process, visit the overview of “Porting

Files Across Platforms” at Mike’s Sketch Pad, located at:
