Homes don’t even need screens on the windows!! And with no A/C, we leave our windows open six months of the year. Hard to believe, I know, but all we have are a few flies and some pretty benign spiders, daddy long legs. And are you ready for this? NO MOSQUITOS!

I live in North Carolina and they’re everywhere!! Okay, not really…but there are plenty of them if you go looking. Seriously, no cockroaches? Please tell me you have a comparable pest of some sort!

Several years later, I found myself working as the manager for a retail computer store that sold both Apples and IBM PC’s; and then I worked as a desktop publishing sales person for Heath Zenith Computers. I was the only Mac specialist on their staff and ran circles around the other guys by selling to ad agencies, printing companies, and publishers.

In all my years, I have never known the Mac to crash, get a virus, overheat, arrive DOA from Apple, or manifest strange behavior in its daily operation, unlike the horror stories I have heard and personally experienced with Windows PC’s. It just gets the job done, all day, every day!

Due to job requirements (a company-issued Pentium computer), I wandered in the DOS/Windows desert for ten years before returning to the Mac about three years ago. Wow! I had never seen Mac OS X before, but it’s been a wonderful reacquaintance with an old friend.

You are so right! I love the Mac. I was a window user for 10 years before switching to the Mac, and I will never go back! I am using a Macbook Pro 15, with an apple 20 inch external monitor, an apple wireless keyboard and mouse. It is a pleasure to work with this equipment!

Thanks for the great posts!

If you match a PC to a Mac hardware for hardware you’ll usually find they’re about the same price and sometimes the Mac is cheaper.
