I’ve often advised people who are not designers like me to get a PC because it will suit their purpose for a third of the price. It all depends on what you use it for. <BR/><BR/>Sure I pay more, but at the end of the day it makes me money because I use it to make a living, and I don’t have to worry about security, or service. I’m connected to all of Apples servers, they set my clock for me, they update my security, buh by Norton, I don’t have to worry about anything or even tell the damned thing what to do. It already knows. It’s money well spent, depending on how you want to spend your money. <BR/><BR/>It’s a closed ecosystem, but a comfortable one. Given the market share, I don’t think Microsoft is really shaking in their boots anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-39007675834940202002008-08-23T12:13:00.000-04:002008-08-23T12:13:00.000-04:00Yes, I hate those ads.

PC I guess. To me, they're made for each other. Sorry Simon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
