Changed over exactly 2 years ago after 15 years of PC's. Used to build between 15 and 20 of them a year for others till I got utterly sick of them.
Yep, I knew my way around them but ended up as the support line for all those who simply wanted their computer to consistently and reliably do what it said on the tin.
Declared a 3 year moratorium on the IBM/Microsoft world and bought a Mac to see how they work in a world where computers are sold as essential consumer white goods rather than hobbyist playthings.
A PC is a superb item if computing in itself is an interest for you. However, if you just want a computer to do what you want it to do buy a mac. One year to go and so far no reason to return to the mainstream fold. PPRuNe is created and maintained on Macs - we just don't have time to frig around with computers.
Nevertheless we are hugely grateful for the expertise offered on this forum. An incredible resource and one we really do appreciate. It may seem very odd to you all now but only 6/7 years ago people were buying computers specifically to be able to see PPRuNe on this new internet thingy !!
