Mac or PC?

May 26, 2008 - 10:54

You may have noticed a couple weeks ago I posted that I was switching from my Windows based Laptop to a Macbook.  The switch did not last long but it was due more to my unfamiliarity with the Mac Hardware than it was the platform itself.  I used the Macbook for several days before I encountered a hardware problem.  The problem turned out to be a bad stick of RAM.  That can happen to any system but I wasn't really thrilled with the way the Mac indicated that it had a problem.  It just sat there and beeped at me and would not start instead of giving me some kind of helpful error message.  I ended up sending the Macbook back to Apple but I have been regretting that move since then because I really did like OSX better than Windows.  I may end up getting a newer Macbook in the near future if I can sell my Laptop first.  I found the Mac to be a pretty easy platform to get used to and OSX handled multi-tasking much better than I have ever experienced with Windows.
