This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I had planned to ask for input on this question for some time when I = read several postings today from some obviously zealous MAC = owners/users. I have always thought I wanted to own a MAC, but the cost = argument from PC users has always won out. Truth is I purchased an = "Apple IIgs" in 1987; you know what happened to them! Now, I have a = used Pentium 100 machine given to me by a church member. Concerning the MAC I've heard everything from "for that higher price = you're getting a faster, more powerful machine with better architecture" = to "they're more user-friendly" to "they do graphics and music = applications better/easier" to "MAC will read PC files" to "in a perfect = world we would all be using Macs." I know the "RCT" runs on the MAC, = and I don't yet own an ETD. On the other side I hear that "for the same money you can get a Windows = machine with more memory, faster speed, bigger HD, etc." or "Windows = machines are more upgradable and expandable" or "there's a lot more = software available for the PC" or "MACs are not for business = applications". At the last two Music Educator Conventions I attended this past school = year, the overwhelming computer of choice by the exhibitors was the = "iMac" followed by one of the tower MAC systems. As a musician, band director, and piano technician why should I be using = a MAC? I'm really not just looking for someone who is going to tell me = what I want to hear -- well, maybe I am. Yes, I think they're cute; so = do my four children. I just need some convincing arguments to overcome = the cost factor (if indeed there is one). I got burned once by Apple. = I hope that doesn't happen again. Respond to the list for all of us to read or to me personally at = dgarman@granbury.com .
