hello this is my first post on these forums.
my mams pc has just died windows wont even install anymore, it doesn't even let you run/install linux on it.
So i am going to buy her a new pc and i was thinking of a mac, because they are meant to be easy to use, virus free and reliable.
All she uses the pc for is emails, chat (messenger), and surfing.
i just have a few guestions on owning a mac.
1. are they easy to use, since it is for my mum which doesn't know anything about computers.
2. do you need AV software.
3. can you use office files (.doc, .xls, .pps) or do you have to buy more software.
4. how reliable are they, as in needing tech support/hardware failures.
thanks
