Buy a Mac
From the Wall Street Journal
A New Gold Standard for PCs - WALTER S. MOSSBERG and KATHERINE BOEHRET
“To put it simply: No desktop offered by Dell or Hewlett-Packard or Sony or Gateway can match the new iMac G5’s combination of power, elegance, simplicity, ease of use, built-in software, stability and security. From setup to performing the most intense tasks, it’s a pleasure to use. And, contrary to common misconceptions, this Mac is competitively priced, when compared with comparably equipped midrange Windows PCs; and it handles all common Windows files, as well as the Internet and email, with aplomb.”
Interestingly enough I was recently talking to a design student who had their mac have a hard drive problem. Out of the 22 students in her class who had brand new macs 6 had hard drive failures and 8 more had screen problems. Sounds like “the man” is selling crap.
I am a Mac user. A 12″ PowerBook G4, after having a Mac I would never go back to using a PC. The ease of use alone is worth making the switch.
