Unfortunately my die hard Mac user attitude has I hate to say it stifled my business. The high costs of repair, the limited software options and quite frankly some thing about MAC that are just not thought through have turned me into a windows user, something that I never thought would happen. I am of course just waiting for the disappointment, however so far, so good, I think Windows 7 is a game changer - sorry Steve, I was loyal, but you let me downAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127517647835977939.post-91714473770753632052010-06-26T11:50:04.841+02:002010-06-26T11:50:04.841+02:00Another reason not to buy an Apple Mac in South Af...Another reason not to buy an Apple Mac in South Africa is that locals are charged the second highest price for them in the world!

I spent so much money trying to make it work and I used to love apple and still like the ipod but for computing unfortunately Apple just doesn't cut it, I am embarressed that I defended Steve Jobbs and apple for so long only to be let down time and time again - fool me once.....shame on you appleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127517647835977939.post-78611373990521751372010-06-11T12:00:22.860+02:002010-06-11T12:00:22.860+02:00Trav, I suggest 1 quality travel laptop and 1 chea...Trav, I suggest 1 quality travel laptop and 1 cheaper desktop replacement; both microsoft.

There seems to be a lot of feelings or anger over this and similar stories amongst Apple users around the world who have moved away from Apple for similar reasons. As hard as it may be for an Apple user to change to Microsoft, windows 7 actually offers a much better user experience than any previous Microsoft products. I thought I would never say that ,as I used to belong to the anti Microsoft camp ,but have found that many of the horror stories I experienced in the old days have been taken care of with Windows 7 including virus issues, crashing, blue screens of death etc - try it, you will be suprised, as I have been - Dr Michael HuntAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198935570336529076noreply@blogger.com
