(34,179 posts)However I've been using Mac computers for well over twenty years. In that time I've bought three Macs for daily use. The first Mac I bought was a Mac 128k, the Mac from the "1984" TV ad. It fit my needs well, and still works as a matter of fact. I used it heavily for nine years until I bought a Power Mac 6100 in 1993. That Power Mac still works, and I would be using it still except for the fact that web designers saw faster transfer speeds, and thus felt enabled to make bloated web pages, making it difficult for me to surf the web. So nine years ago I bought my current eMac, which, after nine years, is still going strong.
That's why I buy Mac computers, they are reliable, they don't break down, I have hardly any down time due to viruses and crashes, and since they do last so long, I'm not throwing more electronic trash into the environment. Plus, I'd rather pay two thousand for a computer that lasts nine-ten years plus than pay a thousand for a new computer every three years.
There are solid reasons to buy Macs, which is why the company built a loyal base.
