I don’t use Mac computer at all not because I don’t like it but is because I don’t have enought money to buy one PC and one Mac at the same time. I have seen the old Mac OS and it loads up pretty fast considering Mac usually run on lower processor speed and the graphic is superb. The new OS is said to load small program, widgets instantly. And it has RSS Safari to note down your favourite website. Good for us Bloggers.
