Macs & PCs

Posted by Posted by Kirk Bowman On 9:29 PM


My home computer died the other day. They say it was a power supply issue. At any rate, it became time to buy a replacement.

I wanted to go all Mac (I already have a Macbook pro) and Pastor Chris (Stapleton) has been dangling his Ipod touch in front of me as a new PDA. I used to be all Mac way back in the day.

When I started to dive into transfering all my data over to Mac it was turning into a nightmare. If I went Quicken for Mac, I was going to have to send all my Quicken data to Quicken to get it reformatted. But then, Quicken for Mac gets terrible reviews, so I was probably going to have to buy Windows anyway. And on and on. Transferring pictures and music and all my docs. It just was not working out.

So I bought another little PC. It has Windows Vista on it. Everything is transfering over pretty well. It's functional. But only that. It feels so clunky compared to the Mac. The Mac I was looking at was gorgeous, worked like a charm (on it's own) and was actually quite a bit more sexy. If a computer can be that.

Sexy or practical. Sigh....

    Do you know that you can have Windows on Mac's these days? I am so sad that you think that the difference between Mac's and PC's are sexy and practical, because I definitely would say that Windows machines are no where close to being practical. Where can you organize your entire life with pictures, movies, music, better than on a Mac. Everything is just practically organized, but you should know that owning one already. I have an iMac that I have Parallels installed with Windows because I have a color laser that will only print from windows in addition to Logos (Bible Software) that only works on a Mac. Spaces is GREAT to switch between Windows and Mac. Running Windows on my Mac through Parallels is the fastest and not bogged down windows machine I have ever used.
