I was just thinking the same thing, cjr53… started with Macintosh back in 1984, and have been a VERY satisfied (and well-paid) Apple owner ever since.I’ve used all the other stuff (at client sites, etc.) but would never — given the choice — shell out my money for anything less.
__Just makes creative thinking and innovation that much more fun!
My first Apple was a IIc, it simply worked well, as have all my purchases since. I’m a little upset with the constant changing of operating systems, mostly to keep up with gaming and applications I really don’t need, but “it’s the market”. The newest iteration coming out seems to have lots of bugs, and “I wonder”- what is driving the company to follow the “Microsoft model” of buggy systems- hope it isn’t indicative of the future without Jobs doing the job.
want to see something funny? hand a pad & pencil to a high school graduate and tell him to “write your home address and home and work phone numbers down for me.” riot! scrawling 3rd grade block printing, and they have to hit the toy at least once to “recall” it all. they don’t even know their own numbers. yeesh.
All the PCs I’ve owned have become so slow and virus-ridden after 2-3 years! The Mac I inherited from my father, which has since been passed on to my 7 yr old, runs amazingly well. Over ten years old!! I’ll never buy another Windows.-And re: dfowensby, now that everyone has cell phones, memorizing phone numbers is out the window. I know my wife’s. I know my parents’. I know mine. That’s about it.
Sorry, Jase 99, it’s just a matter of smarter software, and the fact that Microsoft several “upgrades” (like windows 99 that was “virus ready”) ago wrote text so they could get into anyone’s computer using their product. PC’s have been easy targets since. MACs are very popular, and I’m getting concerned new programmers are doing away with those “advantages”.

Figures. I only buy Apple computers, phones and music players and am extremely pleased.
