Hope the computer gets a good prognosis and you aren't without it for long!

I haven't taken it in yet. I keep thinking I should let it get worse first. Isn't that dumb? We have a bond and it just drives me crazy thinking I will be without it even though there are two other computers here.
I have thought about a Mac, I've heard they are great and don't get viruses like Windows. Maybe I should start researching them now, just in case. It doesn't matter when it comes to a computer though if we can afford it. If I have to get a new one....it will be charged. I will not be without my OWN computer..lol.

Emily and Dustin both have an Apple that they had to get for College.
They love them. They say they are alot easier than Windows....But they weren't cheap either. But then again they may be cheaper right now. I don't know have not priced any. Good luck with that.

I have always had Macs and I work exclusively on Mac's at work. They are extremely reliable and bug free - VIRUS free too. We are all going together and getting my granddaughter a Mac for Christmas. She's had a PC and has nothing but trouble with viruses and other problems. She uses a Mac at school and loves it.
I had my first Mac in 1989  and it ran for 8 years!!! Then I got a PC because my hubby needed to learn how to use one for his work. O.M.G. I hated that thing with a passion and had to have my computer-savvey son-in-law work on it almost weekly. I couldn't wait to throw that thing out! I then got a mac laptop and it is 4 1/2 years old without nary a problem. It needs the operating system upgraded and I'll be doing that soon and getting a new battery - but I expect it to last another 4 years! My hubby got me a desktop Mac year before last for Christmas and I soooooo love this machine!!! Yes, Macs are more expensive, but way worth it in my opinion!!!

I wouldn't even know what to look for in a Mac. They do sound so much better. I think I'll start checking them out.

Go to the Apple store at apple.com There are basic packages that don't vary much. You can also buy reconditioned Macs that I have heard are just as good as new.

Two of my daughter's use a Mac at school and they just love them! They have used the other kind here at home but they prefer the Macs. I think that it takes a while to get used to them but once you do you'll love them. I didn't go with a Mac when I got a new one because it's so hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!!!!
