Another Apple Customer?
I just sold another person to the Macintosh platform. Take that Microsoft! Had a customer call and he was asking if it would be better to buy a Mac than a Windows PC for home use. I told him absolutely. I went on to explain the differences between the two operating systems and why a Mac would be a better option.
I told him that since Mac OS X is based on UNIX, it is more stable than Microsoft Windows. He also would not have to worry about virus attacks and spyware that has been infecting Windows for years.
Using both Mac OS X and Windows XP on a daily basis, I know how both systems work. I do computer support for Windows based computers, and the problems customers call in about are the same problems that I do not have to worry about when using Mac OS X. I would never recommend a Windows computer to anyone. Mac OS X is a more stable and smoother operating system.
I have family and friends who use Windows. If they have problems I am willing to help them. Of course I may try to sway them into buying a Mac. however, if they choose not to listen and continue to use Windows, then that’s fine too. A computer is a tool. What operating system it runs does not matter as long as the tool works well with the task at hand. I just happen to think that Mac OS X is a better tool to use for just about every task.
I have had no headaches with my Mac. Surfing the web does not scare me. Viruses, pop-ups, and spyware mean little to me. I get on my computer, do what I need to do and I am done. Spending more time cleaning viruses and spyware than actually doing work seems like a waste to me.
Macs are not just for graphic artists, they are for everyone. Hopefully that customer will remember what I said and will buy a Mac. He will not regret it.
