About 6 years ago I found myself in need of another (4 machines in 7 years) laptop computer for personal use. I decided that this time I was going to try a Mac. I still have,and use daily that same machine.

I was so impressed with it that when the need came to replace the desktop in my home office, I didn’t hesitate a second, I bought a iMac. It works, I don’t know why a computer works and why it does not, but these Mac’s work. They are very simple to use, after about 20 minutes it takes to deprogram yourself from Windows.

Every server and desktop, laptop, etc. in my office operates on Windows. I don’t go into the office much anymore, but as the owner, I’m frequently required to interface with it online. I actually run Windows on my Mac in a Partition on my hard drive and the only problem I have had is when the office system goes down or when Windows in my partition decides to self destruct.

My machine is easy to correct. I just delete the current Windows and download another one, no sweat. When the office goes down, it’s going to require another visit from one of the outside “techies” we use and write another check.

Gee, do I sound like a Mac fan?

As one of those techies I much prefer a windows system. I like learning about my computer and learning how to fix anything that comes along. It’s like driving a standard vs driving an automatics.

Macs cost more, are heavier, but they are ‘easier to use’.
