Knowledge in Action



1

Identify one Windows user and one Macintosh user amongst your circle of acquaintances. Interview both of these people about their computer usage. What does each one like about his or her computer? What does each one dislike? Would either one consider switching to the other platform? Why or why not? How has what you’ve learned from these two acquaintances influenced your own views of both platforms?
2

Determine both the primary and secondary storage capacity of your computer or the one you are using at present. You may need to read your computer’s Help in order to figure out how to do this.
