I have often wandered what the real difference is between a Mac and a PC. Though I am not an expert in this matter, I have read the tech and the tutorials on various applictions and formatting of a Mac. The two areas I have looked at in the Mac toturial was the stack application found in the new version of Leopard and the simple way of moving from one application to another on your desk top. I appritated the user friendly set up Apple offers. I also like who the applications and documents are compressed and stored. Because of the creative minds at Apple. Mac preforms simular to Pc, but Mac stores and reteives applications and documents with grater ease. Along with those two features I was introdued to a newer, at least that is what I was told, application that saves automaticly what you were working on for that day, so it backs it up automaticatly. What I saw that was neat was when you go to retrieve a document that you did on the previous Friday and your saved items popualates, it does so as an image that looks simular to a file in chronological order. The other aspect I observed about a Mac is the dash board. I like the fact that you are able to store more application buttons on your start up page. I like how they are stored. They in some way look like they are on a neverending sticky stripat the bottom of the start up page.
In closing, I want to first state that by no means am I saying that PC's do not have there purpose. What I am say ing is that Apple is more user friendily, from the little bit I have read and from when I have used a Mac. I did talk to a IT buddy and my wife about Macs. What they both concured is that Macs lowest price point is alot higher then the cheapest Pc. But that a Mac is more durable and holds it value a lot longer. If I had the money an Apple is the best bang for your buck. I must say they are much more user friendly and there application design is much more practical and funtional. I see why teachers are more incline to use Apple products verses PC.
