computer illiterate
New Member
I'm planning to get a laptop but am unsure what operating system I should use. I use Windows (currently XP) and I sort of understand it but not very well. I'm told that Windows is satan and Macs don't crash as much but I'm not sure I could learn to use a Mac (I've never tried). I have a linux computer that I've yet to figure out how to do basic functions on despite my computer-genius friend's insistance that I would "just figure it out along the way." I'm hoping to get some opinions from computer-literate people who understand that some of us just don't and won't 'figure it out' unless its idiot-proof. So basically- should I install Windows or Mac or something else entirely?
