h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

For years I have been mocked for having always used Mac computers. What a delight to read that Apple has now overtaken Microsoft as the world's largest computer technology company. OK - it is largely because of the iPod, iPone and now the iPad.

However, the other evening I went to meet someone at a hotel in the centre of Casa and to my astonishment out of five people using laptops in the hotel lobby, four of them were using Macs!!

People are beginning to see sense at long last.

I've never used a Mac, so I wouldn't feel qualified mocking you about it.

You rarely see them in the office. It was only when I worked for a publisher that they were used - in the graphic design department.

Yes - back in the 90's when Microsoft ruled the world, the Pee-See became the 'industry standard'.
What cost was the training?
And now - every 'business' has an IT manager crawling up the org chart as the only person who can keep the wretched things working.
If businesses had used Macs, there would have been no need for 'computer training' and no need for IT managers.
OK - it was Apples fault - you could only buy real ones - but - in the long run, they were and are cheaper.
It's odd but today I had to 'format' a complicated word document. I started on a windows based PC and gave up in frustration and did it on the Mac. MS Word is 100 times easier and quicker to use on a Mac, even though you have time to go and have a cup of tea while it opens (and tries to search through your system folders). Not really surprising as they stole all the basic codes from MacWrite.
