It's that time of the year again, when I explain the myriad reasons a first-time computer buyer should seriously consider the Mac instead of WinTel.
Macs are easier to use and maintain.
It's obvious to anyone who uses both platforms that Macs are easier to use and easier to maintain than their WinTel counterparts. Study after study has demonstrated that PCs running Windows cost more to maintain and have more down time than Macs. Rather than waste space defending this point, I urge you to visit any of the Web sites listed at the end of this column, where you'll find numerous documents and links that support this claim. This is so important. I have to tell you folks, that hardly ever happens on a Mac.
