Mainly technoreligion though. <br /><br />But why do I need 2+Gb of memory to run a word processor and browser on just about every platform nowadays?

P.C. vs. Mac! Great Taste-Less Filling!<br />While my technical prowess consists of an Underwood typewriter and an overhead projector,and I am not fit to comment on the computers in the debate, it seems that the proponents are not likely to be swayed from their opinions anytime soon.<br />Not to worry though. They are all at the new Star Trek movie finding flaw with the differences from the original.invisiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772375005034797148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-27640218002483375472009-05-13T05:18:00.000-04:002009-05-13T05:18:00.000-04:00The first computer in our family was an Apple II, ...The first computer in our family was an Apple II, back around 1979. Most of my own computers have been my husband's hand down Macs, until my current one which I bought brand new. I love my Mac and especially iPhoto - but I use PCs at work and don't really find it a big deal to switch back and forth.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-24384426584517207862009-05-12T22:01:00.000-04:002009-05-12T22:01:00.000-04:00Boy, you like controversy, don't you? ;-)

Twenty-three years later I bought an iMac, which I love, and in February I got a MacBook. <br /><br />The rest of my family use PCs, except recently a friend gave us an older iMac that the kids use now, too.Dawn @ My Home Sweet Homehttp://myhomesweethomeonline.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-69996762621550669572009-05-12T17:32:00.000-04:002009-05-12T17:32:00.000-04:00The "Go cheap or go home" is spot on.
A...The "Go cheap or go home" is spot on.<br /><br />As a techie, I view Apple's computers and design as "interesting". It's usually innovative and geared towards making the device easier and quicker to use.<br /><br />However ... Windows PCs are also easy and quick to use and you can buy two of acceptable price & spec for the price of a cheap Apple.<br /><br />No contest - They'll stay "interesting" but won't get on my radar until they're competitive on price.Sleepypetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143274290029186546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-8050637493807676772009-05-12T16:24:00.000-04:002009-05-12T16:24:00.000-04:00I've heard that if a Mac fanboy ever bought a Priu...I've heard that if a Mac fanboy ever bought a Prius while discussing modern art, the resulting density of smugness would collapse upon itself, creating a dangerous smugularity...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-50994487740446147892009-05-12T16:19:00.000-04:002009-05-12T16:19:00.000-04:00pc

There are pros and cons to each, and they each lend themselves well to different activities in some cases. Embrace everything available!

But the few ones that we have around my work place do not hold my affection at all.<br />I think what annoys me most about PCs is that they lack a sense of invention. They seem to copy anything cool from Apple at all times.Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-70927516845633468592009-05-12T14:28:00.000-04:002009-05-12T14:28:00.000-04:00I am a Mac Fan Boy!
