OK...Which is it Mac or Pc? Revisited.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I would like to thank everyone who commented or E-Mailed me on the above subject.

This is what I have come up with...While Mac seams to be gaining ground with the home user, the business world is run on PC.   I talked to my MLS and they told me that 'part' of the MLS system will run on Mac, but you will still need a PC.  Also, the Mac is very limited on the choices that are available.

If your are into graphics, movie production and other media type activities, Mac is the way to go.  But, although PC has it's virus issues...It is still the King of business.

So...After talking with 2 MLS reps from two separate systems.  4 computer 'Geeks' (Said lovingly)  I do know that I will be staying with my PC.

5 years down the line...well, then it may be a different story.

Bill, Thanks for the update and information.  I have also come to that conclusion for myself.  Then when I think of the much higher cost, you can buy a lot of Anti-Virus protection for that money!

Suggested!

I guess it would be best to have both, but for now I only have a pc too. Thanks for your update.

Bill...

The PC with Windows 7 has been working great for me. And I like the fact that it is a lot cheaper up front and for software!
