If you’re new to the Mac, switching from Windows might seem intimidating at first. Many of my Windows friends tell me often that they’d rather have a Mac, but are afraid it will be too hard to learn something new. I have even heard people say, “you have to be a genius, or really brainy to use a Mac.” While it’s true that Mac users are some of the brainiest geniuses on the planet, this is no reflection on the Macintosh operating system, which is actually so intuitive you hardly notice you’re using it. I like to say that, yes, geniuses are people who naturally prefer Macs because Macs are beautiful and they step out of the way do you can do great stuff.
