The Macintosh is sleek and streamlined. It has an immensely powerful with sound and graphics capabilities. I use it to do graphics and that is about it. Most of the programs are not as useful as Windows. And some of them you must purchase to use. This Mac OS version is much more powerful than it’s predecessors. As for programming I can use mono developer just like on Linux, and Python to create programs just like Windows and Linux. It is fun to use the same program used on Windows, Ubuntu, and Mac OS.
