If I told you owning a Cadillac meant you never had to get your oil changed or brakes checked out would you believe me? Even the nicer things in life require maintenance, that's why they invented dry cleaning.
Computers are no different. Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011) had a vision for a cleaner, more streamlined personal computer. There are noticeable differences between a Mac and a P.C. While an application on a windows computer generates many individual files, mac programs are like packets, or bundles, of information. Installing and uninstalling is as easy as moving an icon on a mac.
Recently I logged into AtomicLearning and viewed some videos on P.C. maintenance. I chose to look at uninstalling unwanted applications, spyware blaster, and purchasing a wireless router I will be sharing this information with my p.c. using friends. As of right now:
"Operating Systems:
SpywareBlaster supports Windows 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, XP, Vista and later.
SpywareBlaster only works on Windows PCs. There is no Mac-compatible version (yet).
Mac users shouldn't worry, though - spyware isn't nearly as big an issue on Macs as it is on Windows. "

I will use the information about wireless routers when looking to set up wireless at my new school, BKB Academy. Our school is small and so many options, including speed booster and how many ports. I was surprised at the many differences in routers, such as a pre-installed firewall. We deal with a lot of confidential information and legal documents and so security would be of a concern.
