A look into a PC user�s frustrations
At the gym last night, I over heard someone cursing at their MP3 player. �S**t, this piece of crap! It has never worked! Why do you keep freezing?!� After this guy stops his workout 5 times just to reset his Dell Digital Jukebox, I finally look over and say, �don�t you wish you had bought an iPod�. Ok, it was kind of rude of me, but he knew I was right. He chuckled and explained that it was a Christmas gift and he could not help what was under the tree. I let him use my iPod and he loved it. He said, even if he could only afford the 15-gigabyte iPod, or mini, he would rather carry fewer songs with him than to deal with the frustrations of his current MP3 player.
It was funny to hear John Doe explain his frustrations. After discovering I was a Mac user, and telling him that my computer never crashed and it was rated the most secure operating system in the world, he came to the realization that even if Microsoft Windows is not on it, anything a PC company makes whether it be a computer, PDA, MP3 player, or even a calculator will not work, freeze, and eventually break completely. He said, �why is it when Apple makes something it always seems to make sense and work?� This guy had obviously had it with anything a PC company makes. Maybe I helped someone switch, even though I did not make them switch, I was a person to listen while they figured out that Pcs suck and Apple computers are the way to go.
He also wished that he could use the iTunes Music Store. They have all of those exclusive tracks and he can�t buy them to listen to on his Dell Jukebox. What a shame.
