Answer
APPLE - MACINTOSH COMPUTERS ARE THE BEST!!!
Consumer Reports recommends Macintosh computers as their choice!
This is an extremely user friendly piece of equipment! The relative ease of working with it, makes this computer a dream! I had never even looked at a computer before I wrote this book on it!
Now OS X has been in Macs for a while & owners love it! It is as stable as a rock! Hundreds of hours without a crash! (512 MB memory) Peripherals may freeze individually, but can also be force quit without loss of any data from the main database. I have a G-3 with OS-10.3 and would not trade this for the world! (Wrong, I now have a G4!)
Feb 16, 2003 An interview with a business PC user, reveals a totally enthusiastic endorsement. “When my pc crashed, everything went down. With Mac’s OS X, only the application that was crashing had a problem. Everything else was still fine! The memory usage was so much less, and fast! Whew, it ran circles around my PC! I have two processors in one computer! Great!
I thought there would be a lot of new things to learn to use my new Mac. OS-X is very similar to Windows in appearance. After an hour and a half, it was like no change had happened. I could use it with a lot more confidence than my IBM!” End of his testimony.
If a freeze happens because of any application, one can do this. Press “power,” option,” and “escape.” A window appears with all open applications in it. Choose the one you were working in when the freeze occured, “force quit,” and your not frozen! Instead of losing everything, only the “problem app” is affected.
The commentary, Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! is seen in profiles on AOL. I’ve never seen like praise from any other computer’s user. If you’re familiar with the blue screen of death, (PCs) a Mac is stable as a rock!
Most smart professional graphics shops use them. (67%) All agree, they are far better in memory usage then then PC’s! 90% of professional audio labs use Macs.
If there’s a need to run in a Windows environment this can easily be adjusted for by adding Virtual PC.

We all love our Macs, of course, but in this multi-platform world, occasionally some of us need to use a PC.
Maybe we have jobs requiring us to link into proprietary PC networks. For instance, perhaps we’re realtors who need to search the MLS in the field, or teachers who need to enter information into a district-wide administrative database. Maybe we create websites for a living, and need to see how our sites look running under various forms of Windows as well as under the Mac OS. Or maybe we’re graphic designers who need to create Windows-based presentations from time to time for clients who use PCs. Fortunately for us, we don’t have to give up our Macs to do these things. And we also don’t have to sacrifice precious dollars or desk space by getting a stand-alone PC.
Instead, we need Virtual PC 7 from Microsoft, the latest version of their best-selling PC emulation software. Using Virtual PC7, you can run Windows applications, connect to PC networks and share files with PC users — all from your Mac.
Gentle Warrior adds: With OSX one can connect to PC networks seamlessly, without Virtual PC. Virtual PC7 is very slow except for on G-5’s. Then, just slow. Not too good with graphics as of this writing, 1/31/05.
Often people that use PC’s at work prefer Macs at home! So what’s the best choice? What do you think?
This is a totally free endorsement by a very satisfied customer! Many of my associates know these are not exaggerations. They love their Macs too!
Go here to hear the enthusiastic testimony of pc owners that switched to Macs!

There are lots of stories there. I guarantee that you’ll be convinced! Once again, I don’t sell Macs. You will find other Mac owners equally enthralled with their computers!
Macworld the best subscription I ever bought, hands down! It tell you the best ways to make your mac function to it’s max.
If Macs only have a niche market share, (5%?), why do you think Bill Gate's company has a Macintosh division? You can see that Macs are touted as the best! MACS ARE THE BEST!
