Computer Warning

[LVGaryD]

I use chrome for the most part except watching videos on tvg.  Never use firefox

Used to love Firefox until they slowed it down so much!  Now I am almost exclusively an Apple man, I use Safari on this machine....and like it by far the best!

seemed like every time I would start firefox, it was updating to a new version

I don't like how chrome does it's bookmarks though.

Buy an Apple. 

I only use Mac Books now...no virus worries at all!

As Macs continue to grow in popularity, you won't be able to say no virus worries at all for much longer.

 Isn't that an oxymoron?

 More than a decade ago, Mac's had a market share of an approximate 5%.
 I'm sure the Mac market share today is much less.

 Out on a limb. . . .Linux likely has a larger market share than Mac's

Mac is gaining immensely. Last I read, the number is over 15% and if they were priced comparable, Mac would own the pc market.

I know Microsoft is out of favor with many, but I have a Windows phone that's designed to synch with Windows 7, which I run on my laptop. It's a seamless marriage that allows me to do most of what I can do on the PC on the phone, too. You can edit or create a Word document, for instance. Not a great choice for a gamer, but for typical day to day use--music, pictures, radio, email, texting, social media etc.--it's  excellent. The early Windows phones left a lot to be desired, but the new ones are pretty good.

For the second quarter of this year it had sales of over 10% of the US market and it's market share is growing.  There are people in the comment section who claim that mac's share in the world is better than what the article leads on.

It's better to sell 1 machine at $500 profit than 9 machines at $50 profit each

I have the a windows phone 7 as well.  I tried android for 29 days but it wasn't for me.

It's funny when I read articles how the app market just reached 50,000 and people that use ios or android make fun of that small number but everyone that has a windows phone would say there isn't a need for a lot of apps because they are built into the phone.

My only complaint is that text message stop at 160 instead of spilling over and sending it as two texts.

Back on topic though, JS when I was setting up a windows 7 computer for Amy's daughter it took several hours for all the automatic updates to load and install.  A lot of them were security updates.  You don't need to be at the computer the whole time, but let it download the updates and then shut the computer down so that it will install the updates.  I think overall it needed to be turned off or restarted around 8 times before it was finally up to date.

I guess thats/this is why I back mine up on disc it is a pain in the ass and I have never had to use them but

you never know. I refuse to buy a Mac I don't care for laptops and my PC is loaded to the gills and cost me

 about $300.00 I figure I can buy at least 7 of these to 1 comparable mac.

[sea biscuit]

From where I am its 100% Microsoft and windows.

I have yet to see someone own an Apple.
