“Get a Mac and you’ll never go back!”

Not always. I’ve been a Mac user/owner for the last 9 years. I started working on a PC earlier this year and just recently bought a Windows laptop. When I originally bought the Mac I thought that eventually software availability for the Mac would rival that of Windows. There’s definitely more out there but it’s not even close. Macs aren’t perfect. My battery was recalled. I replaced the replacement and it still runs so hot I can’t actually work with it on my lap. The kids at the Apple store act like they can’t help me. For years my machine has had trouble waking up from sleep. It freezes up and won’t even shut down. About two years ago it slid about 4 inches onto a carpeted floor and the hard drive was DOA. The guys at the Apple store couldn’t do a thing. Macs are pretty, sure and they are definitely useful in certain environments but blanket statements like above are more marketing than reality.

So, what Mac have you been using for nine years?
