2. Mac over PC... The sad,
yet undeniable truth.
Buy a Mac, and you will never go back!

3. Let’s start with the
basics.
• A PC can take hours to configure upon
purchase, as one must setup each hardware
device separately which is a troubling
process. Mac computers automatically
detect Internet connections, and connect
to them without even asking you. Wireless
mice are also detected flawlessly, as are
other Bluetooth devices.

5. A Macintosh computer is better
than a PC because you can put
multiple operating systems on it, it
has amazing virus protection, there
are better and easier programs
available, and it is stylish and easy to
use.

8. Boot Camp, a built-in feature of Mac
computers, enables users to run both Mac
and Windows on one computer by
partitioning their hard drive. The setup is
flawless, and works like a charm. Users
can choose either XP or Vista, and all that
is required is a setup disc. This feature
allows Mac users to run applications not
available on Mac, simply by using Boot
Camp. At startup, the user is given the
option of starting up with either Mac or
Windows, and can quickly restart the
computer to switch back and forth.

15. On Windows you always have to worry about virus protection. You
always have to buy a virus protection program like Norton which can
by very expensive. It will cost you around $35.00 to buy it. Every year
you must renew your license which costs around $30.00. So lets say
you where running a business with around 12 people and 12
computers. If every computer was a PC then you would have to spend
$480 just for virus protection for one year. Now many of you may say
that there are other anti-virus programs that are free. The problem with
many of these is that they do not remove viruses they only check for
viruses and some of them actually give you viruses. But, no one has
figured out a way to put a virus on a Mac. So, if you were running a
business and you used Mac computers, you would have saved $480 a
year. You do not have to worry about buying any sort of software on
Mac because it is already on your computer.

20. There are many programs on Mac that are very useful but are not available for Windows.
Microsoft Office Professional is a program that many people think is the best program for
businesses. The only problem is is that is costs around $680. That’s a lot of money for one
program. So again If you had a business with 12 computers than this program would cost you
a whopping $8160. That is a lot of money just for one program. For students they have
Microsoft office home and student which is $159 which is still a lot of money. A simple and
easy program that is offered on Mac but not on Windows is iWork. iWork costs $99.00. Both
businesses and students can use iWork. You can also get a family pack where you get two
copies of iWork for only $120.00. So 12 copies of iWork would cost you $720.00. You would
save a total of $7440 just by using iWork instead of Microsoft Office. Now another main thing
that people use computer for is the internet Many studies have been done to show that Safari
is a lot faster than Internet Explorer. I did one myself, and found out that Internet Explorer
takes 1.3 seconds to load www.apple.ca, while Safari takes only 0.9 seconds.

prices aren’t any better for lower versions
of Office, just so you know.

27. Common Sense,
maybe?
• Why would one spend up to $900 on
Microsoft Office, when you could just get
iWork ’09 for only $99? It’s been proven to
create more creative projects, leading to
more success in the future. I don’t know
about you, but I like to save money.

32. iLife ’09...
• iLife ’09 includes Apple’s popular programs;
iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, and Garage Band.
Most computer users find these much
easier to use than Windows Movie Maker,
Windows Photo Editor, the “non-existent”
DVD burning program which one must
download oneself, and, well Garage Band
absolutely destroys any PC form that exists
such as Sony Acid.

33. Let’s sum it all up...
• Okay, let’s break it down for you.
• Windows and Mac can be run on one
computer
• iWork ’09 is up to $800 cheaper than
Microsoft Office 2007
• iLife ’09 is way easier to use, and most
computer users love it
• Mac computers don’t need Anti-Virus
programs, while Windows Anti-Virus
programs can prove to be a costly investment
