Mac vs. Windows

a little history.

years ago, Bill Gates started DOS in his garage. He was mainly trying to compete with them IBM folks.

In the mean time, Jobs(Steve) was making stuff in his house too. His vision:

WINDOWS...instead of typing a command word in, he said, I am going to create something that you can see with "pictures"

so, Gates found out about Jobs and invested his money into Jobs company but still thought it was too much. Nobody would want to pay that much for a pricier MAC. DOS was going to be the way of the future.

But Jobs was onto something and he made it big, he made Gates rich. But Macs were still expensive...

Gates then said to himself, "self, why don't I try to create a Windows type of thing but make it cheaper."

but instead of making a brand new program,he created his windows with DOS.

So, basically,in a nutshell, this is why a MAC is better than PC.

Everytime Jobs creates a new OS, you can bet that he starts it from scratch and try to make it as advance yet backwards compatible as he could.

Everytime Gates creates a new OS, it isn't new, he just builds on DOS over and over again.

it's like this. Jobs takes a shower each day and wears brand new clothes.

Gates don't take showers but wears brand new clothes each day...

dar you go folks, why folks should get a Mac if they can afford it...

and I am with Jo55 about spending an extra $100.00 for brand new laptop.

personally, getting an old laptop just isn't worth it these days when one can get a low-end laptop for about almost the same price that is far superior.

Just MHO...
