ive stuck with mac for years now
i had 3 windows based machines from various companies.. and within 6 months they run like theyre 6 years old.
then starts the reformatting, virus scans, etc hassles
i realized i was spending more time tweaking my computer to try and get it to work properly than actually getting to use it
a friend told me to get a mac.
ive handed down 3 machines since then(just because im a spoiled brat like that) and all of those older machines are running just fine for their new owners!
my sister bought a new $1100 windows based laptop 4 months ago, and its already giving her hassles.
now, i know people still get viruses on a mac, and they arent perfect.. but for me and my close irl friends, none of us has ever had any issue (other than spilling raisin bran on one
also, everytime a new mac os comes out.. i get it without even thinking about it
anytime a new windows os comes out, it seems like the world waits a year to see what its going to break on everyone elses machines
my windows (lol, this very common on the internet word gets bleeped out - "fanatical friends" but in a much more regular phrasing... lol) friends are STILL whining about missing XP, being forced to windows 7, but at least they arent forced into windows 8, yet. that mentality just doesnt seem GOOD to ME
i would rather save up another 6 months and buy a mac, than have a windows pc that makes me want to beat it with a bat at the end of that 6 month period.. but thats me!
