I was on a PC from the beginning early 1990s until about 2016.

In 2009 I purchased the iPhone 3GS and then in 2011 the iPad II. Since then I have upgraded to an iPhone 6 and iPad Air a few years ago, and both work fantastic to this day.

I finally decided to get Apple. I purchased an iMac. This is because you get more power with your desk top than laptop computer. Moreover, I rather bring my iPad and iPhone when I travel. It’s lighter and does what I need it to do.

Anyhow, I purchased an iMac 21.5” 4K with Intel i7 chip 6 Generation and 16GB of DDR3 Ram. I have 2TB Fusion Drive too.

The setup was very easy to do. Anyone with an education of a 10 year old child do it. Bringing over my information from my PC to my new iMac important files, email, etc... from Windows worked very smoothly and was quick. All I had to to copy my the files I wanted to bring over onto a portable flash drive (that works with both PC and Apple) with a USB. I copied everything I wanted on to it, and then pasted it into my new machine drive. That was it.

Now I had Microsoft Office and used Outlook, Word and Power Point. I went over to the Microsoft web site and purchased the latest office for Apple on their web site. That way I could look at my files.

BTW, the Apple comes with it’s own version of Office and it’s very good too.

Apple is very simple to operate and the best part is you never have scan for viruses, spyware, etc... It just works as a computer should. Everything is point, click, on or off.

I finally got the Apple TV too. Thus, I am in the Apple ecosystem. It’s nice because all my devices talk to each other. If I do work on my iPhone or iPad it will show up on my iMac and vice versa.

Anyway, I don’t regret it and it’s been a great experience.

Oh Gawd! Another fan boi!

I am so sick of the apple cult always going on about how “easy” their stuff is. How it always “works,” and they don’t have to “worry” about malware.

THAT’S NOT WHAT COMPUTING IS ABOUT!

Home computing is about pain, and suffering, and doing the right thing for America!

I’m PROUD whenever my laptop stops talking to my printer! I’m PROUD whenever I get an error that requires professional AMERICAN customer service reps to fix! I’m PROUD everyone KNOWS “I’m not gay” because REAL business requires a full time Microsoft specialist!

Lee Greenwood and Microsoft baby: that’s the ticket.
