After teaching computer science and using both Mac'c and PC's, i have found,
it's not only the pretty interface, but the fact that my PC's require ten times
the maintenance that my Mac's do. Before taking this job I thought that my
preference for Mac's was just my having used them and not PC's, but now I see
that not only is the Windows world a typical Microsoft could have been great,
but we didn't finish it product, but job security for computer repair
businesses. If those laptops are like all other PC's, you will be on a first
name basis with the person you purchased them from after you have all their
problems taken care of.
