EE and MAC's  and GUE  No compromise on quality.

Say what you will, but the simple fact is every year
Windows makes another sad attempt to produce a GUI
similar to a MAC.

And Yes I work on both platforms.
I dont always like to shell out the $$ on MACS but the 
plain and simple truth is MACs have the best operating system
and the hardware rare if ever fails. 
In act the only hardware failure I have encountered, were from a
SeaGate Hd and a aftermarket adaptor.

Outside of this bantering is also the Fact that it is not really the
computer anymore but the software.

Hmm last count $22K on puters and $49k on software

Now then
