3 Steps to Switch from a PC to a Mac

When Warren bought my my new MacBook Pro a couple months ago, my iMac became pretty much obsolete. Instead of sell it, I decided to give it my mom. She’s an avid PC user, but she was willing to try it out. We went to the house today and set it up for her — all of the 1 power cord needed to plug it in :)

She’s been playing with it all afternoon and Apple has some great resources online that I thought I’d share with you (and her) on switching from a PC to a Mac. It’s a bold move, but one that I guarantee if done right, means you’ll never want to switch back.
