The Mac is "insanely great"
The Mac is "insanely great"
Many computer users are obsessed with the power of your computer and some even carry the so-called "overclocking", that make the processor run at higher speeds than those provided by the manufacturer.
It is true that often, the increase in hardware performance required by new programs, especially the games, which require many resources, the PC ends to become obsolete in no time, while a TV can be good for life. It 'important to remember that even though the hardware upgrade is not always a good deal for you although it definitely is for manufacturers and retailers of computer equipment.
I started watching my cousin to computer tinkering with a PC operating system MS-DOS commands he typed for me and seemed to have the mysterious power of a sorcerer who cast spells! Since I am interested in the world of the determination to find the best operating system began to inhabit my thoughts, I soon discovered that this concern was not only a worry but my view was shared by many other users around the world and had given rise to debates and discussions on UseNet newsgroups.
Until not long ago the choice in front of which could be found who had decided to buy a personal computer was essentially one between a computer operating system with Apple Macintosh and IBM-compatible PC with Dos / Windows . What I read today in magazines, websites as well as everyday it seems that a third system is being imposed: Linux, a Unix-based system but distributed free of charge and can run on different platforms.
The strengths of this system would be the stability and power, not to mention the fact that its free distribution facilitates the adoption, many Web sites run on a Linux system and I've read that even the U.S. Postal have adopted to handle the huge movement of U.S. Postal. Arrival at
Macintosh: What was so interesting to prefer it to other systems? I think this question deserves a detailed answer:
1) E 'a system designed to work and not to "tweak".
All the technical problems that are the cross and delight of the "geeks" do not occur with the Mac, or at least occur to a lesser extent.
2) E 'a friendly, "user friendly".
do not need to have a degree in electrical engineering to have the hope of making it work.
3) The complexity is left to the computer.
is not that the mac is less complex than other operating systems, only that he is responsible for carrying out more complex tasks, which are completely transparent (meaning that you can not see) you (this is exactly the task of a system operating).
short, as Steve Jobs said the Mac was "insanely great" (for the Anglophone: "insanely great").
Postscript: "Insanely Great" is also the title of a book written by Steven Levy on the creation of the Macintosh (published by Penguin).
