I bought a Toshiba Satellite A135 in April of 2007. I used it mostly for my college essays and research papers. In July, I put it away in my bookshelf. I did not need it until this month and now when i try to charge it, it will not charge. When i try to turn it on, it will not turn on. The Charger indicator on the laptop will not turn on and i really do not know what else to do. I was thinking about getting a Macbook since i would not have to worry about it catching a virus, and because it can be used with my optimum online modem via the ethernet port. I’ve never owned a MAC BOOK, but i’ve heard a lot of good things about it. Will the transition From Windows To Mac be difficult?
Macs are great, you will never go back. There is also much better support for Apple products. It will be easy to move to a mac. If you have files or documents on other computers and you would like to move them this should help:

Toshiba *shudder*…from the looks of the specifications, a MacBook would be an upgrade, and you can run Windows on a Mac using BootCamp, so if all else fails you could just run Windows on the Mac, although you’d need to have a copy of Windows.
The more popular Macs become, the more virus-prone they’re likely to become, because virus-writers will start attacking them more. A virus-free operating system is like the Titanic, unsinkable until it sinks…but for the moment OS X is probably safer on the virus front.
Make sure that if you’re going to switch to a Mac that anything you use, software or hardware, will still work with OS X, other than that it’s up to you, but a decent Windows machine will probably be less expensive for the same hardware.
Macs are good BUT, if ur not use to using the mac keyboard, you will have to suffer having to learn the keyboard over agian, or get a new laptop
No, it’s not difficult. Trust me, you’ll wonder why you have switched earlier! They are so much easier to use.
