Computers For Students
Being a full time student I am always using
computers for one thing or another.
It has been my experience that the
IBM compatible PCs have a wide range of
software programs. These programs
range from high tech 3D simulation games to
integrated word processors,
financial and life management systems to elaborate
encyclopedias. IBM
compatible computers are easy to use and are continually
becoming even more
"user friendly" every year. They are found at any school
or government
establishment, and most businesses throughout the country and
around the
world. PCs have a proven reputation for being upgradable, reliable,
and
common machines. Because of these reasons and because I learned all
my
computer skills on IBM compatible machines I would have to say that for
myself
IBM and IBM compatible computers would be the best choice.
However, that is not to say that the Apple Macintosh is inferior in any
way. In fact the Macintosh is
many times considered a better piece of
equipment for such applications as
graphic arts. Like the IBM compatibles it
is also found in different businesses
and schools around the world. The only
drawback to the Macintosh would be the
lack of some of the more popular
software that is usually released for PCs
first.
