New Apple Users Everyday

When attending a large lecture recently, I counted a total of 16 computers in the room, 11 of which were MacBooks. From this statistic, it is safe to say that PC users are changing their operating system at a fairly substantial rate. A good friend recently just purchased a new MacBook Pro and is ecstatic with it. Last year she had made fun of me for purchasing my own, saying that they were too much money for what you were getting. She apparently no longer feels that way because she told me that her Dell (which was only three years old) had crashed and burned. It is true that you may be paying more money for an Apple computer than another product that runs on the Windows OS, but that old adage, "you get what you pay for," holds true. Apple computers are more reliable and run without contracting those nasty viruses that PCs are so notorious for. As students, we can not afford to lose valuable information that we have stored on our computers, or time for that matter, as deadlines are a must. I am not saying that Apple computers are perfect, but the satisfaction rate of their users is heads and tails above that of the competition. The proof is in the pudding.
