FREE ESSAY ON IBM COMPATIBLE PCS

IBM COMPATIBLE PCS

Being a full time student I am always using computers for one thing or another. It has
been my experience that the IBM compatible PCs have a wide range of software programs.
These programs range from high tech 3D simulation games to integrated word processors,
financial and life management systems to elaborate encyclopedias. IBM compatible
computers are easy to use and are continually becoming even more "user friendly" every
year. They are found at any school or government establishment, and most businesses
throughout the country and around the world. PCs have a proven reputation for being
upgradable, reliable, and common machines. Because of these reasons and because I learned
all my computer skills on IBM compatible machines I would have to say that for myself IBM
and IBM compatible computers would be the best choice. However, that is not to say that
the Apple Macintosh is inferior in any way. In fact the Macintosh is many times
considered a better piece of equipment for such applications as graphic arts. Like the
IBM compatibles it is also found in different businesses and schools around the world.
The only drawback to the Macintosh would be the lack of some of the more popular software
that is usually released for PCs first.
