Talk me into buying an apple! Please : )

Hi,

Well yes I have been a mac user now for 19 years.. Everyone used to take the piss out of me, when all the games and the software was mostly for PC

And well, I stuck through it, and made 76 vinyl records and became a teacher of advanced music Tech..

Oh how the tables have turned now, most PC users are frustrated and fed up with windows, and all are looking to turn to Apple

GOOD ON YOU APPLE,

And yes, sorry to say, but true, I agree with a lot of other comments on this page. How the hell anyone can use windows when you have OSX is beyond me for sure..

thanks

From my friends who are mac fans, they have said that Mac’s don’t freeze up or have as many “breakdowns” as windows. If you’re a developer / programmer, Macs allow you to run applications locally like linux, apache, perl, php, ruby, etc, that would run the same way (same code) on the web server you’d be using.

Also most everything works well out of the box, like the wireless internet access on our son’s Imac - the windows machines still won’t cooperate, and the Imac wireless internet has worked without a hitch.

I’m sure there are other reasons to make the switch as well - for example, for my day job, we’re going to switch after we have the capital together to replace all the machines, because we do sometimes require a local development environment & things work differently on Windows vs Macs + linux. Macs + linux stuff tends to work the same, so the local development issue is a big one for us.

In terms of the “fun” side of computers, the Mac applications seems as well thought out or better than the windows one, and the integrated desktop search is much better than the search function on windows for local files.

Hope this helps.
