...Make the Switch The debate between Mac and PC has raised many heated discussions and caused conflicts among many groups and internet communities. If you are currently a Windows PC user and have never tried a Mac OS X computer you are missing out on a whole different user experience. Take my advice and make the switch! First let me say I have been an avid PC user for the majority of my life. I remember building my first PC when I was 12 years old. I'm not going to lie, the first time I powered on this frankenstein of a PC I built I remember thinking "its alive!, its alive!". I had such a great sense of satisfaction as I watched the words scrolling across the screen, indicating everything was working. For the past 10 years I have been a PC repair technician. I have learned just about all the ins and outs of the Windows Operating system as well as the hardware it runs on. While you might think this would make me appreciate it all the more, unfortunately it has had the opposite effect. After all these years of fixing Windows flaws and working around its many short comings I was left craving a better experience. When you look closely under the hood at the Mac OS X operating system you will find a very well-thought-out and secure Unix core. Unix has been around much longer then the NT-based core that Windows is based off of, because of this it has had more time to mature and is much more secure and reliable. Due to Windows poor design it will never be able to be as secure and...
