techrecoveryI'm looking for some advice from fellow techs. Advice, not support, I swear. More below the cut...
So I just fixed a family friend's computer for the last time. Not because I'm refusing to help anymore or that I just cut off their fingers with pruning shears. The computer is just in a death spiral and I've convinced them to upgrade if it flakes out again.
I'm thinking of talking them into a Mac Mini. They use AOL and little else, yet can't seem to stop clicking on the things on the web that they shouldn't be clicking on. For them the switch to XP would be just as confusing to the Mac OS. So why not get the machine that won't fill up with viruses and spyware?
Anyone have any past negative issues with a novice user (family friend, I won't call them lusers) going from PC to Mac?
