Machinist: Tech Blog, Tech News, Technology Articles - Salon
The present article is an attempt to prove to you that, on price alone, the Mac is not the BMW of computers. It is the Ford of computers. I am not arguing that the Mac is cheaper only if you consider the psychic benefits conferred by its […]

Once you go Mac

Mark Sem comentários

Once you go Mac (You can’t go back): I am seriously considering getting myself one of those 24″ iMacs this Fall. I need a new computer, my old Windows box, which I will not get rid of, will serve fine for communicating with work and I have been wanting a Mac since I graduated in […]
