PC or Mac?

~~The Virgin~~ · 05-20-2011, 02:28 AM

I'm used to PC and i find MACS very, complex. I used to be a call center agent for at&t and it's very hard entertaining customers with MAC simply because the design is so difficult to remember or understand.

No they're not. They're really very simple compared to PC's.
That's why most people who don't know much about computers should buy a Mac.
And that's why I don't like 'em. I cannot do what I want to unless I know how to work with text-based Unix...

I'm sure it's not too much different in the US, but in Canada the cheapest Mac laptop is $1,000, which is about 44,353 pesos in the Philippines (according to a currency converter). The cheapest desktop is $1,199 (53,200 pesos). The most expensive laptop is $2,499 (110,900 pesos) and the most expensive desktop is $2,000 (88,680 pesos). Sounds expensive.

And it's "Mac" not "MAC".
