Treasure Valley Mac Users Unite!

Treasure Valley Mac Users, when you hear a person say that Windows is better than the Mac you can smile and know that the person saying that is deranged. Also, that the Grand Puba of Windows once had the following to say about the Mac. The Same Mac that we use now.

The Truth!

I am a Mac user. That's right. I prefer Apple Macintosh computers to Microsoft Windows PCs. I am not crazy, to the contrary I am very sane. I am a college graduate, I have spent considerable time in the professional world and I am now more than ever, a Mac user.
I have used Macs for over ten years. I started using them when I was going to college. I went to the computer lab and saw that there were these computers that were not used as often and I wouldn't have to wait for. So I jumped at the chance to use them. What started as a convenience turned into understanding and then admiration for the ease of use that the Macintosh computers provided. This was made more evident when I had the opportunity to work at one of the computer labs on campus. In the lab I worked in it was 2/3 Windows 98 machines and 1/3 Mac OS machines (this was before Mac OS X). When we would have a problem with one of the computers we had the ability to rebuild the machine from a server, both for the Macs and PCs. I did not ever, nor do I recall anyone ever rebuilding a Mac because of a technical problem. If anything a restart could resolve most issues. But with the Windows PCs it was easier to hang an "out of Order" sign on the PC than to troubleshoot it and just rebuild it from the server and hope that the student using it had saved on a disk, not the local hard drive.
I want to start writing about my experiences with my Macs and the reasons why someone with my intelligence would make such a choice. (Other than it is the Obvious choice)
I recently read an article that discussed the struggle that Microsoft endured in trying to "kill off" Apple's Quicktime. Here is a link to the document. It is an interesting read. Funny how the big kid still tries to beat up on the little ones.
