Question of the day - Saturday, February 4th

Good morning

Today's question is one about computers

Mac or PC?

The both have their strengths.  I like Mac for doing more business oriented things that are important.  But PC is much better for gaming in my opinion.  As it stands now, I have a desktop PC for gaming and a Macbook for basically everything else.

Windows laptop. The translation memory software I use for work isn't available for Macs; co-workers who need to use it and had Macs had to replace them.

I have a MAC as a personal computer, but at work use a PC. I bought my MAC when I moved to Korea, as I was told it would be easier to get a MAC fixed over there than a PC (Not sure if this is actually true, but I bought one anyways). I've had it for 3 years and still don't know how to use half the things on it lol 

I'm using a Dell with Vista. DH is using a Dell with WinXP. My new computer at work should be coming in this next week; it's also a Dell with Windows 7.

iPad. 

I've gone through so many PCs over the years because they're cheap and easy to use... but they'd break constantly! And tech support was always a nightmare. I finally spent the $1000 to get a Macbook, and I love it. It took me a while to understand how to use it, but once I got the hang out it, it's hard for me to use a PC anymore. I've had it for 3 years and it's still going strong, aside from the charger falling apart (which I blame Bowser because he loves to attack it). I love it the most because it's great to use for photography, video editing, etc. My boyfriend has one of those huge flatscreen iMacs with the Adobe suite on it so I do all of my photo editing there. We even got rid of our TV because the monitor is so large and clear so we just watch movies on there!

Bought a MacBookPro about a year ago.  I can barely do anything with it.  I wish there was a place nearby to take classes.

The computer charting that I do at work is PC, but Cerner Surginet isn't a very user-friendly program.  I'm sure it was cheap though. 

PC now, but we are slowly making the change to Mac. Macbook Air is next!

PC!    But that's all I've had in my grown up life.  I do think we used Macs in school waaay back in the elementary years.  When using a computer was just something you did a couple times a year!

Three Windows laptops and a Linux box.

My husband is a computer guy, so it is all pc/windows in this house. He needs that for work. We have two deaktops, plus parts to probably make up two or three more deskts. :lol3: Our first adventure into Apple is the IPad we got at Christmas.

Have you googled to look for simple tips? I only ask because I was a bit lost with the IPad and then a friend posted a link with tips on Facebook and it helped a lot. I still have a lot to learn, but can do the basics now.

I've loved Macs since 1984... on my 2nd MacBook at the moment. We use consoles for gaming. 

I use both. It depends on what I am using the machine for.
