Israel seems to be very heavily a Wintel environment.</p>
<p>For instance, do you every have to deal with support people<br />
from your ISP or cable/DSL provider? How do they cope with your<br />
using a Mac? </p>
<p>My guess is that few of them have experience with Macs<br />
and will be suspicious that any ISP or cable/DSL problem is due to<br />
an incompatibility with Macs and won't look very hard to see if there <br />
is an issue on their end or if there just needs to be a change in the software<br />
settings for the computer's internet connectivity application that has nothing<br />
to do with the operating system.</p>
<p>Also I have my cable modem hooked-up to a LAN router so that more than one<br />
computer can access the internet at once. Every now and then I need to contact<br />
tech support for the company I bought the router from. They are helpful but I <br />
worry that they would not be comfortable trouble-shooting connectivity issues<br />
if I had a Mac.</p>
<p>What's your experience been?</p>Jack commented on 'Congratulations, it's a...

<p>Not jealous in the slightest. I have a Mac. I just haven't lost my head the way some others have.</p>

<p>PPS I am typing this on a macbook. when the HD isn't crashing, it's very stable. my school's wireless hub gives it fits too, but our school is notorious for jury-rigging obsolete tech that only works on campus and nowhere else. a hazard of always taing the lowest bidder. ;o/</p>

I happen to work for a classy Apple retailer and I'm totally crazy about these machines. Wish I'd joined the Apple family years ago (first tried one in 1985 YIKES).
