Introduction
The debate between Macintosh and PC computers has been raging for years. ... My decision to buy a Mac was an easy one, but it doesn’t settle the debate in my mind on which is a better computer. ... Most people settle with PC’s because they are more common and most compatible in most businesses and schools.
