Some People Are Happy with Their PCs

This guest blog post comes courtesy of ‘Leo’ – with his punctuation, usage, spelling, and grammar intact…

For the last couple of years I have been observing people over and over again bash Microsoft and its products. While some of these criticisms were valid, most of the negative remarks were grossly exaggerated. I think most of the disapproval came from the problems with vista’s launch and apple’s commercials. While there are apple products I like, I own an ipod touch and would buy an iphone if it were not on at&t’s service, I am more than happy with my pc and don’t really see a compelling reason to switch. Below are the top 5 reasons I will be staying with my pc.

Which is More Important: Hardware or Software?

Krish just so happened to be watching the live video feed the other night. He felt compelled to email me with suggestions, and I felt compelled to respond.

I have just watched your wife Ponzi unwrap her brand new Macbook Air in which you state that she is looking for portability. I find it hard to believe that your wife has searched everywhere because if she had, she may of come across the Toshiba R500. This laptop is a 12 inch, 2.7lb laptop with very good specs. It also comes with extra security with their brand-new finger scanner. Anyway, I have just written to let you know that if you really were choosing for portability, I think you may of rushed in to things a little bit too quickly.
