How my slow computer was fixed by Bryan
I have suffered of late from what seems to me to be the slowest most annoying computer ever. The man I was chatting to was Bryan a good mate of mine and total nerd. I went through the problems with Bryan and sought his help picking a new computer. Bryan thought about what I had said and while fiddling with his ginger beard replied with “You wont need to get a new computer”. I reiterated once more to Bryan just how annoyed I was with my computer in fact the other day I honestly wanted to destroy it with a hammer. In fact I was somewhat annoyed with Bryan for not recognizing my pain. Bryan did however go on to explain further and said “I believe you are suffering from Windows registry errors”. I guess what Bryan said would make sense to most computer guys but to me it was gobbledygook what Bryan said makes sense to computer savvy guys but to me it was like another language. Not wanting to appear stupid I decided to carry on as if I understood him “I see” I replied. At this point Bryan had clearly noticed from the spaced out look in my eyes that I really had no idea what he was talking about. He took out a pen and paper and scribbled upon it the name of a web site fix-this-computer. He then went on to explain that I should visit this site and look under the Fix Windows Registry Errors section and from this I should select an option for a free registry scan which would identify and registry errors present on my computer and after this would give me the option to repair them. I took his advice and now my computer works a treat, cheers Bryan.
Apple start to dominate the market
Web use statistics prove that the Apple Mac continues to gain market share from Windows-based computers. According to various web analysts Mac web share has increased by 0.3% since December 2008 which is a staggering figure. Even use of Apple’s Safari browser have increased to 8.29 percent in January, up from 7.93 per cent in December. However some of those Safari hits come iPhone and iPod touch users and others come from people who are fooled into installing Apple’s browser on their Windows machine.
The strong percentage increase in December could of been down to the fact that people are more inclined to stay at home where the Mac is more of a home computer rather than business so that may explain it. However even though people returned to work in January 2008 which is a sign that Windows is really starting to loose its grip on the web market.
The seemingly minor monthly rise works out to an annualized rate of 3.6% and 3.6% rise in market share is far from small potatoes especially considering that in the declining market through which the world is currently grunting and groaning, every user is precious. Apple always seem to do better with machines for the home rather than the business because they are far more fun and easier to use. Windows machines are normally used in the office for business where Windows machines are very useful.
This is just adding to the ever growing battle between Windows and Apple Mac which seems to never end. Personally, I really don’t mind either machine interface. They offer unique things depending on what you want to use it for. Either home or office. The choice is entirely up to you! Although I personally use Mac machines as they are far easier to use and never fail. Microsoft Windows machines are more inclined to work for about two years and thats it.
