Lets look at these facts:
Mac vs. PC FACTS!
FACT 1: Macs are more expensive.
There are no bargain-basement stripped-down OS-less Macs
The initial cost of a Mac is more, that is true. However, the total cost of ownership over the life of that machine makes it comparable or less than the total cost of ownership of the pc. Mac users normally keep their machines longer than their pc using counterparts, mostly because even my 1999 vintage G4 tower can run the newest version of OS X. Most pcs of that vintage would have trouble running Windows XP.
FACT 2: No one where you live supports Macs.
Had I ever needed to call someone, I'm not sure who I would have called.
I live in a fairly small town and have several options for Macintosh help or support, one is less than fifteen minutes away the other is less than 45 minutes away for hardware problems.
FACT 3: There's nothing written for a Mac.
Duh! Nothing that runs on a PC will run on Mac OS. Some vendors like Microsoft, Adobe, Quicken and others write products for both platforms, but who knows about tomorrow as Apple continues its 20 year slide into oblivion.
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Microsoft Office, QuarkXPress, Macromedia Dreamweaver/Flash/Fireworks, Roxio Toast, Firefox browser, plus a host of Linux programs will run if you load X11 on your Macintosh, all of this and more works on a Mac, that is hardly nothing
FACT 4: Macs do not work with PCs.
Of course not! Remember, Macs don't have a floppy disk drive and a completely different chipset. Want to transfer files? Don't be silly. See #3.
Welcome 2005 where I can easily transfer files from my Macintosh to Windows XP/2000 through a shared folder just as I do from another Windows machine. Not only that but I can put a Windows formatted disk in my Macintosh and read it, but Windows cannot do the same for a Mac formatted disk. Why would I want a floppy drive when I can put information on a 128mb USB keychain drive, faster access and more data.
FACT 5: Macs DO crash.
My Powerbook crashes at least three times a year. You call that stable?
I would call that more stable than most of the Dell laptops I spend my time working on at my place of business. I work in corporate IT and have spent time the last 3 years working on Dells both laptops and desktops. They are good machines, the hardware is usually very high quality, I however cannot say the same for the Windows OS. But, I would agree Macs do crash won't say that they don't but I have had fewer crashes on a Mac than on a Windows pc.
And you Mac users out there can't argue with this either! Don't be fooled by the Mac user lies.
