Get a PC.

I worked for a major online company doing mac support for most of a decade.

The Mac Myths.

Mac's do pictures better. True. Just like 18 wheeler can carry more grocery's home from the supermarket. Unless your home movies need to be a several orders of "better" your PC will do just as well.

Mac's don't get viruses. Nope. They do get viruses. Just very rarely. Why so rarely? Because no one writes software for macs.

Mac's don't break down. Yeah thats why I was in MAC SUPPORT for 10 years. They do break down. Just not as often as PCs.

"Ha Hawktel I got you now, even you admit that PC's break down more then macs", I hear you say.

Yep, but thats all about math. Don't bother reading this part Fastpat.

Your PC has 3 problems per year. Everyone and their dog knows how to fix a PC. Figure 1/2 hour per Problem. Net time spent on the broken issues, 1.5 hours per year.

Your Mac has 1 problem per year. No one knows how to fix a Mac. 2 hours later, you found the guy you needed to talk to at the only staffed during banker business hours help desk. Course its Saturday night, so Monday afternoon you call and get it fixed. It takes the guy 30 minutes to fix it.

So 1.5 hours for the PC, 2.5 hours for the Mac.

Yeah. Right Macs are easier to fix.


Save yourself the effort. Just get a PC.
