Mac OS is nothing, Linux is the best

I like the fact I can run my PC and Linux computers ... from my Mac. I love my MacBook Pro.

I have been raised in the apple family from High School on the Apple II, MAC SE in college, and so on to my current MacBook today. Mac software is so much more intuitive than the PC side. Over the past ten years I have had to work on the dark side through a PC. Apple hardware sets the standard in the industry for style and function. I rue paying the upfront costs, but after years and years of faithful service from each machine, I feel fortunate to have always stuck with Macs.

Apple is a great company, reading this history made me realize that Steve Jobs has led the company since its (very) early beginnings. It's crazy to think he's navigated them from startup to the behemoth that it is now!

Ive had an Apple (Mac Pro) now for about 2 yrs, and I will never ever go back to micro...soft powered PC. As I do think that for the price you are paying it is value for money, you get more than 4 yrs use out of a Mac rather than just 1-2 yrs of pain in the arse viruses, there is no need to pay for virus protection for a Mac, you don't need the amount of desk space that you do need for a PC (tower and monitor), there is no other computer that I have seen that looks anything as sleek and stylish as the new Mac's. Then I find the programs such as iWork '09 and iLife '09 are so far better presented and user friendly than micro...softs versions, such as word, powerpoint, excel and entourage. As for the net Browser I do not use Safari that often I do prefer to use Mozilla Firefox, as I do feel much more safer doing online banking with Firefox. I do see the future as everyone with a Mac at home and work, an iPhone on the run.

I think Apple is too expensive.
ej - January 24, 2009 at 12:47am
apple has a great variety of products with great technology...but i think they should make their product more affordable to put every "apple" product in every home

Hey, yes apple is a great company but the iphone cannot beat a blackberry they are just way more durable. Also a Macintosh laptop cannot compete with a PC, PC's are so much more intellegent. :p

i agree with racheli! :)
Rachali - October 22, 2008 at 11:14pm

I personally think that Apple might be the savior of usable, visual data in the enterprise. I am also more than a little hopeful that soon we will see something larger and more powerful than the iPhone as a mobile Internet device from the gang at Apple. http://www.technologystory.com/2008/04/10/will-apples-iphone-maintain-momentum/
Felix - May 10, 2008 at 3:27am
Aplle, Apple, Apple, Apple, Apples, Apple, Apples..its everywhere. Its powerful and it their biggest enemy is micro...soft! Steve Jobs pushes the products forward every day and almost evryone have a iphone in their hans right now.

I didn't know that they had changed their name just as recently as January 2007. Interesting.
Brian - February 11, 2008 at 11:46am
