Became a Mac user with the Lisa but have been an Apple user since my original Apple I. Boy we have come a long way. Mac shines and best proof I have is I owned a chain of computer stores in southern California. I could hire a new office person who had never used a computer to start on a Monday, sit that person down with a Mac (we sold every major brand of computers and some of my stores were a Businessland, MicroAge stores, Inacomp stores, and Intelligent Electronics stores) and by Friday, that person could answer basic Mac questions and could help a customer decide on a Mac or a PC. Put that same person down in front of a PC and a week later they still were basically lost without a menu program or bewildered by early versions of Windows which were much more simpler than today. What can I say. The Mac just works and requires very little to learn and master vs the PC.
I have answered that question before, “Why are you an Apple user?” simply because, I am a big fan of Steve Jobs. I am quite amazed on how he invented these gadgets which made our life today so much easier. By using and choosing Apple products, I am free of worries because the brand is a trusted one.
