Apple computers are boring. No ? Well, I think they are. You turn one on and you do what you wanted to do, it’s always the same, it just works. Just plain boring.
On the other hand, if you had a PC laptop running Windows your life is very colourfull and exciting. You turn it on and there is something new every day. A new virus, a new trojan, a funny error message … no end.
You spend days and days in support forums, you update anything and everything day in and day out, you tweak the registry and know it better than the inside of your left ear. And things just keep coming. And let’s not forget all that beautiful software you need to install, update and tweak daily just to keep your PC running.
But one of the most important things is an almost accidental impact of Windows on your professional career. You will install Windows so many times over the life of your PC that you will become very experienced, and you can even put it in your resume “Installation of Windows 9x, ME, 2k, XP on a weekly basis…”
Even when your girlfriend, after being stood up six times this month, gives you a boot, you will live your life knowing that she has made the sacrifice for the advancement of technology.
Now, if you ask people who had a Mac computer for several years, how many times have they installed OS X, most of them are the real dummies, they’ve never done it. They’re just unemployable in IT sector, they’re mentally rusty. They are barely aware what an error message is, they don’t know how to handle the crisis, they’re just dumb.
So if you want to join the team of those boring anti-geeks, who don’t know how to reboot four times a day, then go ahead and buy a Mac. But remember, you’ve been warned!
