So, researching a product and its features and cost is nothing that you’d do. Figures with someone of your basic intellect.
That’s a really hilarious comment, SkayDancer. The fact is that the vast majority of Apple Mac users have been Windows PC users and are the equivalent of bilingual language speakers who know more about both systems than do you. They have done their homework in making their choice where it is you who have not.
For example, it is we who know that Macs can run all versions of Microsoft DOS and Windows software, Linux software, UNIX™ Software, and, of course, it’s own OS software, along with multiple other operating systems, often simultaneously, which a Windows PC cannot. When I was running my cross-platform consulting business full time, my main Mac Pro platform often had nine OS’s running simultaneously.
IBM, Inc., yes, that IBM, will willingly tell all comers they did their homework and switched ALL 400,000 of their employees worldwide over to an Apple hardware based company on the desktop because they learned they could save over $85 million a year in tech support and overall cost of ownership for their computers and mobile devices over the competition. Trouble tickets for desktop computers fell by 90%. Where before they had to have one IT department employee for every 200 installed computers, they learned they could operate Macs with one IT guy for every 2000 Macs. Once IBM accounted for every cost involved, they found that total support cost savings was between $273 to $543 savings per year for each Apple computer installation over the competing PCs. In addition, it turned out the Apple’s had a 2.5 times longer useful life span older PCs.
So, yes, Apple users HAVE done their homework and very few of them ever go back. The most common comment from a Windows to Mac switcher is “Why did I wait so long?” Most of us got damned tired of working ON our computers and preferred USING our computers to get work done.
You, on the other hand, because you really don’t know these advantages and benefits of Apple, went low and used ad hominem attack on itsahoot to insult him, denigrating his intelligence to supposedly boost yours. Not good form, SkyDancer.
