It was a hard adjustment especially at work getting all my development tools in place (software engineer) but now I can't imagine going back to a PC. If i do have Window Only software i just either dual boot my MAC or use VM Fusion to load windows on my mac.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: the new imacs do support dual monitors. They now come with 2 thunderbolt ports which can be used to attached a second monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-38282 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:44:20 +0000 lavender 38282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PC but with an iPhone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-37382 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:06:53 +0000 MrsHotDog 37382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a Mac. I may even be considered a Big Mac with all of our Apple products... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-37340 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:25:56 +0000 MK0180 37340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I converted to Macs just recently (I was so against them before) Got my first Macbook pro this past summer. It's pretty awesome. Not gonna lie. Hardly any set up required - easy for me to use (not tech savvy by any means). It's fast, don't have to buy anti-spyware, and it's shiny. And it'll last for a while. My DH has an older macbook that he bought in Korea while he was living there. He got it 3 or 4 years ago and it's still running great and he has never done any major reconfiguring or upgrades. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-37265 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:04:40 +0000 erinpye 37265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Mac only household. I was converted by DH about 5 years ago and never looked back. I HATE using PCs when I have to, which I don't really anymore since I work from home. We've even converted my grandparents to Mac users! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36635 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:58:34 +0000 MsMini 36635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I converted to Mac about 7 years ago, and you couldn't pay me to bring a PC into my home now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36627 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:47:18 +0000 DigAPony 36627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a while to get used to it, but my husband totally converted me to the Mac side. Love them. We have a MacBook that we fight over, and a PC in our office that will be getting replaced as soon as possible. I hate Windows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36617 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:30:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 36617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PC all the way. Work provided me with a MacBook Pro so unfortunately I'm a mac there. </p> <p>Like @Mr. Bee I've been using PCs since a very young age. A few years back we got a macbook and totally regretted the decision after about a year and every day since then. So much money for something that's totally not durable and then is so expensive to maintain. The DVD drive broke after a year and it would have cost us $300 to replace it, so we just used an external DVD drive. Then we had to replace the battery twice, and our charging cords got burned through (and almost started a fire twice!), etc etc etc... Plus I've had a smartphone for years (palm until my current droid) and it was always a nightmare to sync a smartphone with a mac. I lost all my data multiple times... that sucked. (Going through that again with my droid and my work computer... ever tried to sync entourage on mac with google calendar? There's pretty much no free way to do it.)</p> <p>Our next laptop was a thinkpad and we've never looked back. I'm typing on it right now. I love how powerful it is and whenever something breaks down, we can fix it ourselves for cheap. </p> <p>We do have ipods and RJ has an old iphone we jailbroke, but most of them were gifts or free (we seriously got two free ipods from one of those freeipod.com things). We both have android phones. I considered an iphone for a while but when Rob Sr. explained that I couldn't get any apps that weren't available on itunes, I gawked and said "droid please". I just don't like having technology I don't have control over.</p> <p>...but I'm a geek, and not a creative or artist in any way. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36550 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:10:02 +0000 skibobrown 36550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're all Apple all the time. Between me and DH, we own 2 Mac laptops, at least 3 ipods, and 3 iphones (one of them is the original iphone that we now just use to play music). We both want ipads too! At work I'm a Linux person, and DH is forced to use PCs. He actually runs Windows off of his Mac laptop from time to time as well when he needs to do work-related stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36546 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:57:18 +0000 cupcakemama 36546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PC.</p> <p>I am keen to avoid any Apple products. I have an Ipod that I use for running - the clip is handy - but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36541 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:45:49 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 36541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVERYTHING in our house is Mac. Phones, iPods, computers...we're junkies, plain and simple. Even DH's whole office is run on Mac - the entire church. I think there is ONE person that he works with who doesn't have an iPhone. </p> <p>Its a sickness, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36042 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:37:35 +0000 tequiero21 36042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pc all the way, only because i first learned on a pc. i do think mac would be great if i really get into photography and photo-editing..... when i become a SAHM, i'll need a new laptop/computer. my hubby is thinking of getting me a mac. we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36032 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:21:42 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 36032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also totally thought Mr. and Mrs. Bee would be Macs :)</p> <p>I always come very close to getting a Mac, then figure out how much more computer I can get for the money with a PC, and that's that. Have every other Apple product imaginable, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-36002 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 19:17:04 +0000 Mrs. D 36002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up mac, but we both have pc's now because they are SO much cheaper. Next computer with be an apple desktop though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-35908 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:47:32 +0000 Nskillet 35908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apple family here! 2 ipads, a macbook, and 1 iphone soon to be 2 come January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-35905 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:45:21 +0000 anewme 35905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been Mac converts for several years now. I could never go back to pc for my personal use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-34643 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:41:02 +0000 DillonLion 34643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PC. </p> <p>I don't agree with Apple's business model and therefore boycott as many Apple products as possible. The only thing I own is an i-pod and I will not be getting anything else. Ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-34621 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:11:41 +0000 Mrs.KMM 34621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely PC.</p> <p>I really dislike Macs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-34617 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:10:17 +0000 Modern Daisy 34617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I 'wasted' 7 years of my life dealing with PC problems then finally switched to mac after hearing several recommendations from my tech saavy friends and I'll never go back. Everything is better, the interface is much more user friendly and it actually works!! Haven't had a problem in the 4 years we've owned it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-mac-or-a-pc/page/2#post-34584 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:27:25 +0000 Andrea 34584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both.
