Basic Computer Learning
I have used pc computers all of my life. I have never known anyone who uses a Mac. I hear a lot of great things about Macs but because I have used Pc computers for so long I can not imagine making the switch now. Pc computers may not be designed to work with different media such as imaging and sound files like Macs are. I do not use my computer for much more than word processing or Internet surfing so I do not need a media-friendly computer.
If I was a photographer or worked with a lot of music files, I may consider buying a Mac. Until that day comes, I'm very happy using pc computers. I've used them since I was about five years old and have never had a problem with them. I understand how pc computers work and I understand their language. I think that if I tried to switch to a Mac now I would be very lost and unsure of myself if a problem were to occur. If I ever experience a problem on my pc I know where to look for a solution and I do not believe that I would be as effective at troubleshooting on a Mac.
Every school and work place I've ever been a part of has relied on pc computers. Everyone in my family uses pc computers and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Besides the technical reasons why I prefer pc computers to Macs, I am also aware of the fact that Mac computers can be much more expensive than pcs. If I was being honest I'd have to admit that is probably the biggest reason why I will probably never switch.
I spend a lot of my time creating projects and papers on my computer and if I could not use Microsoft Word on a Mac I would never buy one. I have become reliant on Microsoft systems and if they are not compatible with Macs, I am not compatible with Macs.
I'll continue to rely on pc computers for all of my computing needs. I know them, I understand them, and most importantly, I trust them. According to my experiences, I'm in the majority on this one. I hear so many Mac users spouting off about how they are superior to pc computers but as a regular computer user I have never seen any evidence of this. The mere fact that I have never seen anyone using a Mac proves to me that the superiority question is moot.

Computer Education
If you are looking for a career in computers, or simply want to know more about them for personal use, you should look into computer education. There are many different types of classes, so make sure you know what you want before you start looking. Computers run on software, and there are many computer education courses that deal strictly with learning how to use that software. These computer education classes will cover how to use Microsoft Word, PageMaker, Excel, and other like programs. Many of these types of courses are geared towards office work, and you will learn software that will be used in day-to-day business dealings, as well as typing and shorthand.
You can also find computer education courses that teach you how a computer works, and all about computer programming. These classes are often complicated, and the material is hard to learn, but if you are looking for a high paying career, this may be just what you are looking for. You can also find computer education classes that deal with web design. These will teach you how to build a website from the ground up, and may also offer marketing techniques, and career direction. Building websites as a commercial venture can be a profitable career for someone who has the right skills.
You can find computer education classes in many colleges. Many have computer education that is an essential part of any curriculum. Look for schools that are geared towards business in general, and ask if they offer computer education. You can also find computer education classes online. These classes allow you to work and learn from your own home, and may be the answer for someone looking for a second degree that doesn’t wish to go through the entire college experience all over again.
When searching for online computer education, make sure you research any classes or degrees that you are considering. Some schools are well established, while others may be on the shady side. You don’t want to spend your money and your time on a worthless degree that doesn’t help you secure a new job. No matter where you go for computer education, keep costs in check by looking for classes or plans that have a lot of your needs already covered. If you take computer education classes in your home, you will need, at the very least, a good computer and the money to buy the software.
