Mac Inspiring Creativity, PC Users Should Switch to Mac
During the day I work as a graphic designer at a local newspaper and I work on…. wait…. I’m not sure if I can say it…… Windows … 2000.
Now, you can’t really blame the newspaper because not every company can afford to buy the latest and greatest and believe me, this company does try.
As a designer though, it’s the equivalent of working without a soul…
It’s always amazing to me at just how much more inspired I am to be creative as soon as I get home and jump on my iMac, crank up the tunes (iTunes isn’t allowed at work so I use my iPod) and get into the mood Apple products inspire.
They really are much more conducive to creativity than… well, I don’t even need to say it (windows).
I don’t have Apple’s newest operating system (leopard) but tiger alone puts any version of windows to shame. I mean, I just don’t have the problems I used to have with windows, and I’m a pretty advanced user. I always manged to fix whatever arose but seriously, why deal with that? I just don’t have problems on my iMac (ok, I lie, games aren’t exactly Mac friendly).
Here are 10 reasons why people should switch and give Mac’s a shot:
- They’re conducive to creativity and fun
- They’re easy and intuitive
- Your mac isn’t going to get sick from all the viruses running around the internet
- Macs don’t come with all that extra crapware (crap software) installed that is a total pain to get rid of.
- They come with software that is useful, works and isn’t annoying.
- Macs can run anything a PC can
- Mac users are apparently smarter
- Installing and Removing applications is so simple a 5 year old can do it
- Everyone I know that has made the switch vows they will never go back and wished they had switched sooner.
- You don’t have to defrag macs
Those are just a few, here is a list of 50 reasons. Want 10 reasons to upgrade to a PC though?
Top Ten Reasons for Upgrading to a PC instead of a Mac:
- You enjoy reading computer manuals
- Buying parts ‘not included’ is your idea of being patriotic
- Blaming it on the PC is a great excuse… for anything
- Tech support is your idea of telephone dating
- Your favorite computer game is figuring out where your files are
- You look forward to today’s new virus (or worm, or both)
- You like listening to telephone support hold-button music
- Letting the kids play on the Mac next door frees your time (eliminates after-school kid sitters)
