So, there is a company called Apple that provides top of the line programs but with almost no user customization.  One could say it is "art driven," the products relying on their beauty rather than customizable features.  The rival of this 'art' inspired company of course is Microsoft, a company that produces cheep computers with programs that give the user more power, but require a little bit more knowledge to operate.  So, for the store owner, which kind is best?  The Mac offers usability, but the PC offers more power, and that means there is a choice.  There are good arguments for both sides, and maybe the store owner might be in a fog of information, and unable to decide whether a Mac or PC is best for their business.  Well, allow the facts to take you from the fog into the light.  The Mac is the computer a store owner should have, and there are many good arguments that point toward this conclusion.

Let's dive in and start figuring out why if you are a store owner you should have a Mac.  First off, when selecting a computer, a store owner should have a very important attribute in mind; durability.  A store owner can not be worried about the hardware in his store, and certainly should not be having to constantly fix it.  Business needs to be the focus, with the computer being the tool for the business owner and his or her employees.  Would a person buy a hammer that after three-hundred nails would be damaged beyond use and require repairs,  and require the user to constantly check its current condition each time after use?  Obviously, the answer is no.  The hammer must be trusted to last, and after use be able to be put away without worrying if its cracked after each day.  The 'hammer' of the store owner is the computer, and unfortunately, PC's are alot like the hammer example where it needed constant checking and repairs.  Virus scanners, Spybot Defenses, Firewalls, and other forms of computer defense must be purchased just to make sure the PC is generally safe, and after a small amount of time licenses must be renewed, losing the store owner valuable time and money.   Not only that, but even with all the money invested in defense software, its still possible to get a virus which will cost you even more time and money repairing your machines.  That is where Mac does not falter.  The Mac is built for durability, and there is only a few viruses in existance
