FAQs
Q: Can I really run Macs along with my existing PCs?
A: Yes, you can! Let Apple tell you how with its special message for Windows users.

Q: But aren’t Macs more expensive than PCs?
A: No, not when compared against their equivalent PCs. Macs are professional computers and their
prices compare favourably against the higher end PCs. Also, Macs come ‘complete’ with everything
like quality sound and video built right in and are all wireless ready.
Q: So what about Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint?
A: Nearly all Microsoft’s business software is available for the Mac – have a look at
Microsoft’s Mac website! to read all about it.
Q: OK, so they look pretty, but are they real computers?
A: Yes. Macs have actually been around for many years. The latest Macs all run Mac OS X which is
an industrial strength operating system based on BSD UNIX – the operating system that powers
much of the World Wide Web.
Q: But you can’t buy any software for Macs!
A: Oh but you can, although admittedly not from high street stores – it tends to be sold through
mail order with next day delivery. Most professional software is available for Macs – have a
look at the latest list of applications for Mac OS X on
Apple’s web site.
