I got my first PC when I was 15. Oh boy- I was so excited!!! a brand new HP with Windows 3.1 and a printer. Since then I've been using PC and Windows. Until last year-- as you know I run an American-English school called George Washington School of English and every month we send a newsletter to our students. We had an antivirus installed in all our equipments, but don't know how, we sent a virus with our newsletter. Guess what? a lot of our students where upset. And I didn't know what to do.
Why don't you get a mac? a friend (who, by the way, didn't have a mac suggested me). mmmmmmmmmm... I told myself. I mean, I remember macs from when I was a kid, but, I just didn't know.
A month later, I was at Millenia Mall (my favorite shopping center in the world) and I saw an Apple Store. Got in. Looked cool. I felt in love with the MacBook Air. I didn't buy it at that moment. I checked the Apple web site and learnt the differences between Apple and PC. I finally bought the MacBook Air at a beautiful new mall in Ft.Myers. Two days later I flew from Orlando to San Francisco- I had a 6 hour flight and nothing to do but explore my mac. In the beginning I thought "Oh no- what is this? - what have I done?" But little by little I got more comfortable. I was able to design posters, flyers and newsletter with a much better design. Everything looked more stylish.
So then I got rid of my blackberry and bought an iPhone. When we opened the Madrid Cuzco campus I wanted everything in my office to be Apple. And I feel great in my office, I really love it! Then I recommended mac to a friend of mine who is CEO of a very successful fashion business. At first he told me he hated me and if telling him to buy a mac was some kind of a revenge for something. But now if you go to his office- everything is mac.
My advise to you: Macs are not perfect, in fact they don't run a lot of programs that PC does. But, I would say they are more stable and they allow you to do things that unless you are an expert, you couldn't do with PC.

Macs are NOT perfect! f*.* hell and you say it now!
ResponderEliminarWell... not trying to preach here but... Have you ever tried to run your PC with a Linux-based OS? There are applications for almost anything you could imagine. And you get rid of those trojans, worms, viruses...
ResponderEliminarMacs are very nice, true. I almost bought a Mac Airbook when I was in NY, but the keybord distribution stopped me (thank goodness... I really couldn't afford it).
See you!
