kaitmpayne asked: Gabe wanted to get me a mac really bad, but I just told him that I want a really tricked out PC instead. I have enough problems trying to figure out the type of computer that I've been using pretty much since 2nd grade, I don't need new keys and stuff added to the equation. I'm such a grandma, but I like PCs.

I was being a little unfair to my little Mac. It actually has been real good to me. It has lasted me through 2 desktop PCs and 1 laptop. Even with it’s measly 2 gigs of RAM, it still runs way smoother than either of my PCs, each of which had twice as much. I literally use it everyday. 

My Mac frustrations come from not being able to steal expensive software for it, like I can on my PC. That’s due to it being less vulnerable to manipulation, which should be a good thing…for honest people.

I will say, there is a huge learning curve. In the 3 years that I’ve had this thing, there are still simple things I have no idea how to do, and have not been able to find through research. I think I will make a list of 5 about those things. 

Macs are pricey as hell, too.
