Mac vs. PC

Spending my whole life with PC, I always defended PC. PC has taken it’s place in the world as over 90% of all computers. There is a PC almost everywhere you look. It’s a system that is very upgradeable. My first computer was an i386 that I put together myself, running Windows 3.1. It was so rewarding to piece together my own system and upgrade parts when needed. For a while that was a hobby of mine. I enjoyed tinkering around with different computer parts. But, over the years my interests changed.
PC and Microsoft are very dominant in the computer world. You have PC gamers that love their computers. You have Microsoft office, which I have to say is very useful and an excellent suite. I have always used it and I still do. You cannot go wrong with Microsoft Office. I run Microsoft Office for Mac now. It actually seems a little better than the Windows version, but I haven’t had a lot of time with it.
Throughout my years of using Microsoft’s Windows, I have had nothing but problems. I have had enough problems to begin to think that these things were normal. I believed that it was normal to have to reboot on many occasions. I have had to reinstall Windows on many occasions. Many people say that they have no problems at all with Windows and the problems people have are operator error. I can believe that most of the problems are operator error. But, I don’t seem to have any operator errors with Mac. I can do what I need to do much easier and enjoyable on my new iMac. I still use a PC at work because that is what the navy provides and the ITs stay busy. I actually had to call then 3 days in a row and neither problem was fixed. I have not have any problems at all with my new system. I have yet to find any faults. I know that discussions like this one usually start a Mac/PC war. But I just wanted to share my thoughts on this subject. I never really had a point to discuss when I was using PC.
I’m really enjoying my Mac and I have absolutely no problems! I was impressed as soon as I took it out of the box…
