Trying to get my bearings in the computer world. What kinda computer would a programmer buy? I can't picture him buying a basic Compaq with windows so I thought I'd ask my favorite computer geeks for their input.

f macs. they are really really bad. and very prone to viruses. a computer a porgrammer would buy would probably include dual core AMD processors and a nice video card. and lots and lots of ram and HD space. and run windows

In fact, there are two viruses in the wild for Mac OS X. 2 << 100,000, which is about the number of known viruses for Windows. So Windows is the OS with security concerns, not Mac OS X. Additionally, a programmer would not necessarily use Windows. They'd use the appropriate tool for the job, just like any other craftsman. If you're doing desktop stuff or PC gaming, maybe you'd use Windows. If you're doing any high-end stuff, you'd likely not use Windows--you'd probably use Unix or a Unix variant. And dual-core AMD processors with a nice video card for programming? Nah. You're thinking of a gaming machine. You don't need that kind of power for programming at all. |
