Things I Just Don't Understand (part 2)

I remember the very first computer I ever used.  It was a Vic 20, followed by a Commodore 64 and so on and so on.  When I got to college I bought my first PC - it had Windows 3.1.  Upgraded to '95, '98 and XP (never did make the leap to Vista).  

You know what else I remember - crashes, viruses, reboots, reformatting, defragging, the blue screen of death, CTRL+ALT+Del, slow boot times, lagging processing, "Not Responding" messages, and plenty more.  Oh, those were the days.

What I don't understand is why it took me so long to listen to the people who talked about how simple and easy and solid Apple computers were.  I should have listened.  In middle school, I remember the first computer lab had Macintosh's in it.  Guess I'm not that quick after all - took me 20 years to go back to the Mac.  And I'll never go back to PC again.  I just don't understand how people can be happy with a Windows PC.

Probably because not many people know the ins and outs of Macs and are too afraid to take the leap and learn. I know I'm more comfortable sticking with the system that I know.

the "new" mac OS is way better than the older version 15 yrs ago (had one of those apples). I couldnt go back to using that stuff, but I am in love with the new macs!! it was a good change from PCs...
