My PC problems were more or less the same, though running Windows 2000 at the last count, it was a darn sight better than XP. However the persistent battling against viruses, unstable programs, sluggish operations made computing a horror. Now it is a joy.

I primarily use computers for the internet, email, databasing, word processing and presentations. OS X and Apple Macs offer the best solutions for all of these activities - by far. It makes me wince seeing people struggle and struggle hard to get their computers connected to their LAN, or get a simple program to do what you want it to do. Why give yourself such grief? These days you cannot even use cost as an excuse. Apple Macs, for the wonders you get, are the only sensible investments. Think of all thoughs (wo)man hours you waste bashing your head against a dingy PC box.

Apple Macs are kind and gentle, yet masterly and powerful. Spend more time doing other things, get an Apple Mac, and ditch your beige abominations.
