People need to shut up about buying a Mac.
I own a computer repair shop. Every freakin day someone who has screwed up their Windows computer (usually for the umpteenth time) announces they are going to solve all their problems and buy a Mac.
I am assuming these people believe that with a Mac:
You can just talk to your computer like on the Enterprise and it will do what you want.
You can just tell your Mac to set up your internet connection, find you all the sites on the internet you would like to go to, download free pron and not display any ads for bogus items.
If you can't find a file you saved a Mac will just read your mind and find the file. Without knowing what type of file it is, when you saved it, where you saved it, or even if only just thought about saving it, but didn't.
A Mac will last 20 years. Or more.
Macs are more powerful than p.c.'s. For less money.
Macs come with every piece of software you need for free. Especially Office.
A Mac never has a problem. But if it does it is far cheaper to fix than a p.c. It must be since there are so few Mac shops.
A Mac comes all hooked up. Right out of the box. And you don't even need to plug in your old printer. The Mac will just print automatically.
Software for Macs is far cheaper than for p.c.'s. And there is so much more of it. And it all works perfectly. In fact Mac software comes in easy to open boxes.
And lastly, if you buy a Mac it is so easy to use you will create a website, make an Academy Award winning short movie (without a camcorder, natch), find a hot babe, clear up that strange growth on your leg and raise your I.Q. at least a hundred points. And that's just in the first 10 minutes.
So if you want to buy a Mac, please, keep it to yourself. I am tired of hearing it.
And if I offer to call you a cab to the Mac store, and I tell you how far it is, don't say I am lying because there must be one in the building.
After all, if you even think you might want a Mac, you will be transported to Mac store automatically, at no charge, of course.
