Computer question from a dumb ass

Re: Computer question from a dumb ass

Gotta chime in on the Mac wars. I've been with Mac since forever (probably 1985 or so), and I've never had a virus nor have I had the 'puter lock up. But like Jim said - it's like a Honda car. I just want it to start, stop, go around the corners, and take me where I want to go. I don't CARE what drive something is on, and I can see NO reason why I ought to know. For people like me, Mac is perfect. If you feel some compulsion to know something about the box, then the PC should be your choice. I'm not saying that one is better than the other - they're just different beasts. We can all relate to someone who wants to tinker with his/her junk - that's what the site is all about. I prefer to mess with my cars and use computer time to talk to y'all.
