Apple Computers & WinCustomize

Saturday, January 10, 2004 by Firedogs Ron Son Jose | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Question: Will WinCustomize work on Apple Computers and, if not, how come this has not been expanded to accomodate Apple Computers? Thanks!

ronald, my old man's got an inspiron 8200. once a month, its on the workbench in our IT department because something's gone wrong with it. i don't know WHAT he does to it but his platform is VERY unstable. on the otherhand, my boss has the same computer and never has had a problem with it. my guess is there is a software problem, a driver of some sort, that is bringing you down. dell's are not the best built machines, albeit they are certainly the most popular. some programs bring them to a grinding halt, i've heard Norton is one of them.

all of my friends/buisness partners in my field use macs, and i'll tell ya.. macs are real nice for certain jobs, but you have to pay a lot of moeny to get them to a stable point and outperforming windows.

Thank you sig101, paxx, KarmaGirl, and DesignCaddy. Your information (input) is well-taken. Yeah, I will go with Dell Desktops. You are correct DesignCaddy, Norton does in fact slow things down. When I go to build the desktops, I will ensure (hopefully) that they are as solid as possible. One of the major problems we have over here in the U.S. Virgin Islands is tech support. The folks from DELL Latin America are clearly not being trained enough. Most of them give up too soon and recommend a clean installation of XP. Personally, I think (since January 2003) 5 clean installations were not necessary, but I am limited in knowledge.

WinCustomize is a Web site and it is not Platform specific...

If you go to the Dell Support forums you will probably run across the exact same problems you are running into which someone will have posted a solution to...

Also, their admins actually do know the hardware and will help as much as they can...

just a thought...
