Answer :

answer:I’ve been a DOS creature since I got my first computer in 1986. In 2008 I bought my first MacBook Pro and I can’t say enough good things about it. Four years later and I’ve never had to spend hours trying to figure out a blue screen, or why the computer isn’t booting properly etc, etc. I had to recently call Apple because my O/S is out of date and I needed to upgrade. I got an Apple agent within 10 minutes and 5 minutes later the upgrade was on its way. That would never happen with Windows lol. I’m seriously thinking about replacing all our computers to Apple products eventually.
