After going through multiple computers due to obsolescence & and Microsoft bugaboos, we decided to try going the Mac route as a test run. We bought a Macbook Pro (a laptop) about two years ago to see how we liked the Mac option. We were tired of running through desktops at the rate of about 1 a year and thought that moving over to the Mac platform would be better in the long haul. We have really enjoyed the Mac operating system and interface and I think we are ready to move 'all the way' over into Mac-land.
I was personally tired of going through Micro-Suck updates on a weekly basis...not to mention all the add on products that cost $ and how MS forces you to upgrade SW and therefore having to purchase the same SW again (sold under the guise of a new version). Add to that that the OS is not nearly is stable (although it is much better than what it used to be), is more susceptible to being hacked, etc etc and we had just reached our boiling point with the dreaded Microsoft mafia. I have also had a couple of situations where updates to the system would crash other programs indefinitely or evener worse when the computer just totally died and I had to re-install everything (losing all programs and data too). Blue screens are NEVER a good thing and I have seen said blue screen about 5 times in the past 24 hours. It is time to back up all the data and start looking at options once again.
It might just be time to move all the way over to the Mac platform and get a Mac desktop too because apparently at some point it has become 'normal' to have to go through a desktop at a pace of one each year.
I think the term 'disposable income' really means that the products these days are disposable and that you have to frequently spend your 'disposable income' on replacing the products that need to be disposed of so frequently.
