Computers add more bells and whistles Technology is moving faster than users can figure it out. Josh NewtonTahlequah Daily Press “And I’m a PC,” says the other actor, sitting in a wheel chair, both arms and one leg wrapped in casts.
“I’m afraid to ask,” says the Mac. Of course, the PC has a story too many can relate to. “Well, I was sitting on my desk, and someone walked by, and carelessly tripped over my power cord; yanked me straight down to the ground - BAM!,” says the PC. The Mac explains to the PC one of the new features of some Apple products include a magnetic power cord, which just “pops right off” when pulled. McElhaney believes Mac computers are on a popularity rise because they are so simple to use. “With a PC, Windows gets in your way,” said McElhaney. “Before using the computer, users have to learn Windows. But with a Mac, the computer doesn’t get in your way. You can just start working, and anyone can do it.” But according to Clifford Short, CEO of Computer Central, PCs still take up approximately 80-85 percent of the market. “Most people just want basic Internet service, and to be able to do school work,” said Clifford. Gamers can also build a system to fit their every style and need, according to Clifford, who said a great majority of his business is building those systems. “Gamers can buy a low-end system for about $1,500, or can spend up to $10,000,” said Clifford. Most importantly, Clifford spends his days updating and servicing PC virus software. “Every couple of days, people should service virus software,” said Clifford, noting some only run scans every week or every-other week. Willy Edwards finds PCs are best for his every hobby, whether it’s writing, designing Web pages or kicking back for a nice game. “PCs have these neat little ports that allow us to hook up game controllers or joysticks, steering wheels, brake pedals - they’re just built to be a gamer’s best buddy,” said Edwards. “Now, PCs are being sold with wireless mice and keyboards, media centers where we can plug in any digital camera’s card and see the results immediately, and it takes nothing to load a DVD movie and watch it from your monitor.”
