My Computer Doesn't Feel Well

[2tiredmom]

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!!!!!

I know what you mean...arf arf!!

How is the computer feeling today? They should have emergency rooms for our computers. Don't use System Restore - it just goes back to before you put in a new program, or something that messed it up. It sounds like an internal illness.

I bought a refurbished back-up laptop a few weeks ago. I haven't done much with it yet. It's older than mine, but Steve got it online. I'm going to back up this computer soon because it's getting to have several problems. You should back up your files on a flash drive, disks, or an external memory just in case yours does crash.

I would love to play with Mac, but I also believe they can't teach an old dog new tricks.
