I was listening to a radio talk show host a while back explain why he preferred a Mac and it all boiled down to his power on button being located on his monitor for the computer so he didnt have to bend down and press it on the box and the fact he doesnt have to press three buttons together at times. It made me laugh at his reasoning but its all fair. I'm just thankful that we do have options and can choose which we like better.
Ive only bought one computer off the shelf and that was about 15 years ago. Since then I have built my own from parts I have purchased as upgrades over time. I actually prefer it that way. I can pick and choose what my needs are and they often change depending on where my latest interest takes me. Thats what I like about being a PC user. I call it freedom. Some would argue that I'm limiting myself to windows but the truth is my windows isnt set up like anyone elses is and I can change it tommorrow if I feel like it. I tend to take the bloat out and run my preferred apps instead of Microsofts. Some would say that is a hassle but I dont see it that way. I see it as fine tuning. When i get in my car after my wife drives it I move the seat, adjust the mirrors, and change the radio station. She doesnt touch my PC (thank god) so it is all me "an expression of myself". If I felt like I could achieve that better with a Mac I would own one. Nothing against those who do own them I just prefer to own a PC. If there were only two models of vehicles on the planet, a four door sedan and a pickup truck, I would own two pickups. Funny that whats in the driveway. Like my PC's I can can just do more with them. Not to say a Mac user cant but your probably doing different stuff.
