Web Technology (Mac OS X)

During this class we learned the basics of the Mac operating system. I have had a Mac for five years now and they are by far more superior to personal computers. In the future it is important to be able to use both types of computers. This class helped teach the basics of the Mac (i.e. the dock, finder, spotlight). These basics are the foundation for opening the capabilities of the far superior computer (my opinion). The tutorials we read showed us everything we needed to get started.
Apple is making a strong push in the technology world right now. Everything seems to have the prefix "i" in front of it these days. PC is still the leader in computers but Macs are slowly starting to gain momentum. With that being said it is my opinion that everyone should become acquainted with Macs because the technology world seems to be moving in that direction. I can definitely see myself in the future continuing to use macs because of how user friendly they are and their ability to avoid common viruses.
The video I chose is hilarious. It compares a 1987 Mac with a 2007 PC running Windows Vista. They set up a competition between the two computers to see which one can start up, open a word document, and then shut down the fastest. Lets see what happens!!!

I Also added this video, it does not have anything really educational but I found it pretty cool.
