16. Productivity

Switching to a Mac greatly enhanced my productivity. On my Mac, I get more work done in less time.

My Mac doesn't freeze up unexpectedly. When a shareware demo does crash, OS X remains stable. Because I don't worry about the integrity of my Mac, I focus on getting things done.

On my Mac, menus make sense. Controls are consistent. The software I use is more stable, better conceived, and more visually appealing. The result? I love working on my Mac.
