Would the system boot up after the case was closed? Would the operating system install? Would all the drivers be recognised? When I look back I wonder how I managed to get anything done with all the time required to build and troubleshoot!
There was something engaging about building your own PC in those days. I travelled to the local computer fairs each weekend where I delighted in roaming around the stalls looking at the latest and greatest processors, the processors I could never afford to purchase. I was a die-hard fan of Windows and built all my own PCs for many years. The Mac is, quite simply, a beautifully clean and simple system to use. I will therefore approach this blog article from my own perspective having used both Windows and Mac systems for many years. In many cases it will depend on the preferences of the user. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. IS MAC OR WINDOWS BETTER FOR PROGRAMMING? Although I look at the learning to code aspect of each system, it is too easy to get drawn into the Mac versus PC debate. It is, it seems, an age-old question: which is better - Windows PC or Mac.
