RE: [Digital BW] Re: mac vs PC

2005-01-22 by José Miguel Ferreira

Hi.

For 7 years I worked as a Macintosh specialist. I sold, installed,
configured and trouble-shooted Macs and Mac networks. Most of my customers
were architects, designers, photographers, the usual crowd...
I stopped my business just before Mac OS X came out, so I can't speak for
that...

I now use one Windows XP machine for everything. It never crashes,
maintenance is minimal. At equal computing performances, it costs *way* less
than a Mac.
