Mac vs PC

You can't probably tell whether I'm writing this post on a PC or a Mac but one thing's for sure is that I can. That's because I'm at my computer and it's a PC. Aside from the obvious there's another tell tale way that I know I'm on a PC. Because it has a virus. It's a reason I haven't written in a while, because I'm afraid of opening my browser.

Now the debate between Mac vs PC could go on forever. And there are definitely two very passionate sides to the debate. Really I had no problems with PC's. They allowed me to do pretty much anything I needed including web design using Photoshop, etc. But what happened to me is that the free version of my security software finally expired after about 4 years. And in between the span of the software expiring and me purchasing the upgraded version, I got myself a nasty virus.

What happens is every few minutes, Internet Explorer decides to open a random web page and inundate my computer with random music, noises and screaming babies. I usually forget my speakers are on, so every so often I end up with a minor heart attack. I will never look at babies the same.

Now in the past the solution to this problem would be a rather simple one to me. I would re-install Windows. Working with computers myself, this task is an easy one but I also know the amount of time it takes. You can pretty much write off an entire afternoon...maybe even a whole day. From installing software to installing drivers, it's just a pain in the ass.

So I've decided that my journey with PC's will finally come to an end. At home anyways. I'm saving up to buy myself a nice little Mac Mini and I can't wait. In fact, my first computer was an Apple Macintosh. I remember visiting my friends house and watching him enter all those DOS commands into his IBM machine. Back then I thought he was so smart and a computer wizard. In retrospect, little did I know that the machine I had, with an actual user interface, was far more advanced....well user friendly anyways.

And I'm not going to get into the MS vs Mac ads. It does confuse me that MS doesn't even sell PCs. So really they're advertising on the behalf of thousands of other manufacturers. You think Dell would say a thing or two. That being said, the Mac ads are just funnier and a whole lot sexier.

And soon so will be my computer.

I think I hear a baby crying.
