itunes works just fine on PCs.
True, but after you’ve used Mac OS X for any length of time, Windows just doesn’t seem the same.
They did the same thing with the DNC speaches. They also have audio copies of the 9/11 report available and all the hearings – though I am not sure if the report is free or not.
I’ve been meaning to blog about it (and actually, I’ve blogged quite a bit about Apple, generally) but if you want to number one reason why your next computer should be an apple, this is it.
Earlier this summer I had a major system meltdown, compliments of my 2 year oldl getting on the computer and messing up some files. I was basically locked out of the computer, with no easy way to save a couple of years worth of files, including 99% of the pictures we had taken of my son. Distraught, a friend told me to take it to Apples Genius Bar – a free tech support counter in each of their stores. I did, and the Apple tech spent a couple of hours with me, first backing up all my files on DVDs so I could access them later, then reformating the drive and reinstalling all the software. Total price?? $19.99 plus tax for the purchase of a box of DVD-Rs (it would have been free if I had taken my own DVDs with me).
If I had a PC and this happened (and these things happen ALL THE TIME with PCs) I would have been stuck on dozens of different hotlines with dozens of different companies laying the blame on each other, all charging me $30/minute for tech support from either a computer or someone in Bombay I can’t understand.
Apple does it for free, and they do it in person 10 minutes from my house.
OH, and BTW spoons, while you think iTunes works fine on a PC, it doesn’t have all the creature comforts of the version on an Apple. The integration of all the programs is astonishing.
