Anti-Applers Beware

I’m still amazed at how many people out there despise Apple and their products. The most common thing I hear now is, “It has the same hardware as my computer (Windows/PC), it just costs $1k more.”, which absolutely drives me nuts.

Apple might use the same processor, hard drive, graphics card, etc. but they used the components better than any other computer manufacturer for the price. What gives Apple the edge over the competition? Their operating system and their quality casing designs. read more…

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. :evil:

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). :twisted:

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 :twisted:
  • 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)
  • You think Bill Gates deserves the money
  • You have nothing better to do with all the extra time
