Migration, or, Downtime Continued
It needs to be said, loudly, that Apple's claim that switching from Windows to Mac is not only painless but actually quite fun! is A CROCK OF SHIT. Even as an experienced, long-term Mac user (let's just say I programmed turtles in Logo on Apple IIcs) I'm finding this process to be excruciatingly time-consuming and fraught with debilitating problems. To anyone considering making this switch, don't assume that Apple ProCare knows what they are doing, and ask them in advance kindly not to put your entire My Documents folder in the trash bin. And, tangentially, note that any backup program that doesn't have an option to restore the data manually is not a good backup program.
:-(
Gah.

Migrating from Windows to Mac painless and actually quite fun? And you believed them? I work on both platforms and there are enough booby-traps going from one to the other, just in terms of fonts for instance, that I usually try not to bother. My deepest condolences and sympathy are with you.
