Why I like Macs
Posted By matt on July 20, 2004
I like Macs because I can, in good conscience, recommend them for people as a computer. This is opposed to Linux, where I have to listen to their bitching about how Linux is [crap|difficult to use|annoying to install|looks funny] whatever.
This was prompted by the fact that my mother (an archetypal “uses a computer at work but doesn't want to know anything more about it. It should just work, and she shouldn't have to be afraid of getting virii from the internet” type user) spent a few hours at Liz's on Saturday, figured out iMovie in about 5 minutes, and was able to import, cut, splice, and edit a movie from her digital camcorder. We've now sold her on buying an iBook. Bear in mind that she has also sat and used my Linux boxen, but she did not take to them nearly as rapidly.
