@Herbert – As far as hardware goes, Macs are solid. They’re premium machines that use premium components. That’s what it boils down to. Yeah, you might be able to get a little more “umph” from a similarly priced Windows machine, but you can’t forget about the intangibles. For me, things like not having to worry about drivers is huge. “It Just Works” is very valuable in my book.

Congrats on switching, I’ve been dying to get rid of Windows myself. The main issue for me is one of monetary value — do you think it was worth it? By monetary value, I mean that for a similar price, we could’ve picked a computer with much more “powerful” hardware but be restricted to Windows.

Congratulations on switching!

I switched to Mac 3 years ago and got a new iMac last year. The background is detailed in a blog article I wrote

It is the best computing move I ever made. If you want to convert VHS to digital you could try one of these

I have been thinking about getting one for the same purpose, it has inputs to record from a VHS amongst other sources.
