We rarely have to restart our Mac desktop or force-quit applications. The odd time we have had problems, mostly due to our 3rd-party external hard drives, Apple tech support was superb. If you can afford Apple products, I would say they are definitely preferable.<br /><br />One thing to be aware of is that as Mac use is becoming more widespread, nasty hackers are starting to write viruses targeting Macs. You can download free anti-virus software - ours is called AVG LinkScanner and it was recommended by Apple Support.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-33601394708982319192012-06-30T02:34:23.775-05:002012-06-30T02:34:23.775-05:00Gosh...

Don't know about Macs. <br />I am so glad you realize there are great things in the world to enjoy and be thankful for. I didn't count my blog in that list, but thank you my friend. <br />I am so sorry about your goat - animals and cars do not get on well.<br />Take great care dear friend, Love, Merle.Merlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763778255535640633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-13910526758770124322012-06-28T06:00:04.398-05:002012-06-28T06:00:04.398-05:00Tabor -- So if you were getting a new computer wou...Tabor -- So if you were getting a new computer would it be a Mac?<br /><br />Chatty Crone -- Well Sandie, you're the first to say that. So there are problems with both?<br /><br />Cliff -- So many of our computers have needed to take a trip down Out-the-window-lane.<br /><br />I am regretting keeping that baby goat. We had an opportunity to give him to a friend who wanted him for one of her goats she was having to milk and I was selfish so I kept the baby. Next time I will find a goat home for the rejected kid.<br /><br />Riot Kitty -- Guess you feel strongly againt Macs. LOL<br /><br />Snaggle Tooth -- You have made some pretty strong cases for both PC and Mac. Guess the lower price is the main reason that sales are so high for the PC.<br /><br />Thanks for kind words about Ashenhurst. He wasn't a very good goat but he was becoming a very good human:) If only he could have lived in the house like he wanted.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-25928763305411657682012-06-28T01:01:31.305-05:002012-06-28T01:01:31.305-05:00In college we used macs for all the artwork n pc s...In college we used macs for all the artwork n pc s for the office stuff. I made some computer animations n videos using Macs. They've been doing the detailed art software longer.<br /><br />I find PC art more difficult to get to the same quality.<br /><br />Macs are alot more secure too.<br />Easy to understand n use. <br /><br />PC s are cheaper tho-<br /><br />So Sorry about Ashenhurst! I know you invested alot of love in his short life.

What is most sad is Ashley the twin brother. He seems very sad without Ashenhurst. It took a lot of special attention to get Ashenhurst to four months of age without his mother's attention and I can't help but think she might have kept him out of the road. I didn't talk about this on mh blog, just put the memorial on my sidebar.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-72112231966031034282012-06-27T13:46:40.867-05:002012-06-27T13:46:40.867-05:00Dear Annie,

I don't think my macs have ever crashed. Not once. I don't use any virus protection as they don't seem to need them. I do have a small netbook pc that I use on holiday and I hate it. It's slow, the graphics are crap and I just don't like it.<br /><br />Not only that but Macs are beautiful. A dream to use. In the house we have ibooks, ipads, iphones, ipods etc. We never have any of them serviced. Touch wood, they never go wrong!LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-39944946443345932272012-06-27T12:55:16.446-05:002012-06-27T12:55:16.446-05:00Shionge -- If my sister gets hers first we'll ...Shionge -- If my sister gets hers first we'll let you know too.<br /><br />Lynn -- Ashenhurst got in the road on Monday and was struck by a car. Evidentally he was able to run back to the house so it's doubtful the driver even knew our goat was killed. I can barely think about it. Thanks for the good information on the Mac and PC.

What h...I'm sorry to see that Ashenhurst died! What happened?<br /><br />I have used both Macs and PCs and liked both. BellSouth switched us from Macs to PCs in the early 2000s and I got so used to PCs that I've bought three for my home since. I do like my iPhone though.<br /><br />My coworker thinks that Macs are "intuitive" and swears by them. He says that virus protection is built in to Macs in such a way that they are seldom hacked.<br /><br />I have to say - I wouldn't recommend a Dell computer. They ended up having to send someone to my home to replace virtually everything on the inside. At least they did that, but it should have worked properly in the first place.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-59003729486580052912012-06-27T12:08:30.191-05:002012-06-27T12:08:30.191-05:00I have no idea too but my elder girl would like to...I have no idea too but my elder girl would like to have a Mac next so I'll know soon :DShiongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519286201719224882noreply@blogger.com
