• Mac or PC?

  I just have to share this no matter how goofy it is.

  As many of you may know my nephew is Autistic and has an insatiable obsession with computers and anything computer related. To give you an example, he had never heard or seen MACS before I got mine. He watched me messing around on it once and had it memorized. He has even read, and understood, my college level computer books and he is only 9.

  So anyways, my mom decided this past weekend to get a new computer, something that had been on her mind some time now, and when my nephew found out, he was ecstatic! He started telling my mom EVERYTHING about the computer she needed. So we took him with us to Sam's club to find one.

  Now here is where it gets great.

  So we get to the computer section and the kid insists on playing with each computer, which he did. During this time we had called over a sales rep. to ask him a few questions. My nephew then begins to "quiz" him about the very computers the man is getting paid to sell. (Here it comes!) My nephew actually knew MORE about the computers than this 30 something year old sales rep and was able to pin point the better computer. lol The downside is that the one he deemed the best was not available. The upside is that he deemed one of the other ones just a good and we purchased it.

  So far, it has been the best Microsoft based computer we have ever owned. Ever. Gotta love those Aspies. :)

  
  

  Are you a MAC or  a PC person?
