While most web users tend to access the Internet, and run their websites, with a PC, a sizeable minority use Apple Macs – and they are evangelical in their passion for the “alternative” computer. If you’re thinking about making the switch to a Mac, here are a few points to consider:

Demon, a brand of THUS plc, are Apple’s preferred communications provider, and offer a helpdesk service staffed by Mac-literate advisors. You can also buy a Mac OS X-compatible ADSL modem to run your broadband connection with, as well as ISDN and dial-up packages.
 
While many people believe Macs are less suitable for business than PCs, the same software is available on both platforms and is actually released earlier to Mac users in most cases.
 
The OS X operating system is fully compatible with PC equivalents, and most users find it easier to operate and more logically presented than PC systems. A Mac will connect to and interface with an office network of PCs without difficulty.
 
Macs are especially useful for creative industries: publishing and media companies, advertising agencies and designers all prefer Macs because most digital video and design software is produced with Mac users in mind.
