mac vs PC

2005-01-22 by jnhugo

Every mac is made by apple with in house quality control while a 
windows machine could be built by any number of hundreds of 
makers.
A properly configured windows machine should work fine but it is 
not that easy to find one.
We have two work stations at the lab - a Mac, I insisted, and a 
windows machine-a pretty expensive Dell tower- the Dell is a  
machine that has never worked right from the out set-windows 
always wants to do things that you haven't asked for while the 
Mac just hums right along. Same with my wife's Gateway- it is a 
really good looking well designed machine but doesn't work 
right-ie opens strange files unprompted-launches install 
commands for programs already present-turns on by itself-
connects to the internet unprompted..
If you are a power user and can absolutely get the confiquration 
you need windows works fine- if not a Mac is just "easier on the 
brain"
Windows are also very vulnerable to infections-Macs much less 
so..
