LOL...

Actually I think the Mac is perfect for the Grandma...

And, I taught the Grandmas and Grandpas in a senior center on how to get the most out of their Macs. They were always so overjoyed at the ease of use of the computer. That was when I was in Oregon.

And my cousin has a Mac, and doesn’t know a thing about working with or maintaining computers which makes Macs so easy for her. And I never have to worry her with being infected with viruses and such. Heck! That never happens. I mean, I’ve even *tried* to infect mine and I can’t make it happen... LOL...

I actually had to help another cousin with her newly purchased PC-laptop, had the latest system on it, too. Now, on that one, I *knew* she *had to be protected* by some anti-virus software or else she was going to be in big trouble. The one with the Mac, I wouldn’t even bother insisting that she had to get anti-virus software.

The one with the Mac also has a ton of fun with the iPhoto program and her digital camera. And also, when she gets a digital movie cam, she’ll have a lot of fun with the included program to handle that, too.

Hey! If I don’t want to be *bothered* with a lot of problems and helping someone keep up their computer — I’ll recommend a Macintosh, because they won’t hardly ever bother me. But someone with a PC, that’s a different story. I might as well have them move in with me, because I’m gonna have to have my hands on that computer a whole lot to help them...

And mind you, I’m talking about the type of person that you’re talking about — which is the normal Joe, who doesn’t want to get into anything in regards to maintaining the computer, and wants something with a real easy, consistent and very intuitive user interface.

I would only send my enemies over to the PCs... LOL...

See I’d be more concerned with a Grandparent on a fixed income or a struggling young couple to be spending $2000 they don’t have for a computer they can get for $400-$500 tops. If we are talking desktops we will lower that down to $300-$400.
