Macintosh

I've recently purchased an iMac 20".  It is a nice computer and can do many things quickly and elegantly.  I use it about 5% of the time, mostly to understand and use the hardare and operating system.  It is been valuable in understanding various items in supporting clients who have Macs in their homes and businesses.

Through the years, we have recommended Macs to people who are strongly right-brained; people who could never get the knack of effectively using an IBM compatible PC.  Also, we have recommended Macs to people who were getting too much spyware and viruses on their PC's and who, on our recommendation, had an interest in using a Macintosh.  These computers have been much freer of these problems than PC's, partly because of the stability of the operating system and partly because of the fact that Macs are used in less than 5% of the computer market now.

We are confident that Macintosh's will be successful in gaining more market share in the future.  Previously, my main gripes were the one button mouse and the condescension of many Mac users.  Microsoft was smart enough to steal all sorts of things from the Mac - the mouse, graphical interface, Clipboard and many other items.  Apple did not take the scroll mouse or the right button for what seemed like a long time.  That has changed.  Now you can put a PC style mouse on your Mac and have it do much of what I need it to do.  It is a good computer, elegantly crafted and powerful enough to do the jobs it has to.

Hein Computing, Inc. is now getting more expertise through installations and care of Macs and has added this to our list of services that we provide to our clients.
