An infernal machine everyone loves and is completely obsessed with. They can
go from a
junk cell phone to a Super Cray computer at the National Security Agency. Computers can really suck because of the failures of their manufacturers to create real products.
There are three types of Personal Computers (PCs):
1. The
Windows machine which tends to crash when it is the absolutely worst time to crash, but is a great machine for the PC gamer.
2. The Apple computer comes in many varieties but is invariably the best for multimedia and graphics. While there are not very many good programs available for the
Macintosh, those that are created are good. (Usually). An Apple running MacOS X is likely to be safe from most viruses, but isn't easily interchangable with other PCs.
3. The Linux
box is perhaps the most secure machine on
Earth and very cheap. Support and documentation is often very good. However, it is not for the faint of
heart, as it requires hard work to set up and skill. It's open source, so most stuff is free, but many of the programs are amateurish.
