zomg - I fell in the 10th percentile that has an issue, zomg - a part is being delivered by fed ex 4 hours later with a fat guy to install it  |
Wow who shoved a broomstick up your ass. My cousin is a computer tech who services both pcs and macs and constantly bugged me to get a Mac. I don't have dumb issues with viruses or whatever but pure build quality is awful on pc systems. I've had hinges break, bulbs go out behind the screen, burned through 3 motherboards and an insane amount of ram, a couple harddrives, some faulty powercords that almost burned my carpet, a couple heatsink fans and gawd knows how many other things and you know what all these issues happened within 1-2 years of owning a new pc laptop. My MacBook cost the same amount as my hp and Dell and is hellofalot better not a single issue in 3 years. Why deal with the headache of a pos Dell that is unreliable and has some sort of magic internal clock that knows when 3 years are up and it magically explodes.
My Mac works doesn't crash, doesn't blue screen, doesn't magically turn off or do anything irritating that any of my pcs did. Yes I do know the "threat" of a virus if the Mac sensation continues but i honestly dont care because none of my pc issues were virus based.
Oh and I'm sorry if there is any random gibberish as I'm typing from an iPhone.
