There are many choices that you have on buying computer today. It virtually completely depends on your preference. If you are using it for everyday computing I would suggest as a desktop the Dell Inspiration 530s, which you can see here: http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspndt_bundles?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs. I would also suggest on that to get Windows XP as I would for all of the following computers. For a laptop I would suggest the Sony Vaio VGN-CR290 with the optional 120 GB Hard Drive. You can see it here: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SYCTOProcess?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&LBomId=8198552921665239971.

What is the source of Apple's logo?

* When Jean Louis Gassée was asked about his thoughts to the Apple logo he answered: "One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn't dream of a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope, and anarchy." (from The Apple Museum, linked below) There is also a great article on the Apple logo at LogoBlog, linked below.

Is apple better than acer?

No. Apple are massivly better. That's why they are SOOOO expensive.

*Not necessarily... just because something is more expensive does not mean it's better.

I had a choice between a macbook pro and an acer travelmate 8571. I went with the acer and I couldn't be more happy. I think it's really up to whatever you're going to use it for though. I'm in college, I work my Acer like a horse and up to this day it's never failed me.

My brother has a mac and I think it's a great machine, however, it's not for me... but as I said, that's just me.

I recommend that you compare a few laptops that you like from each make and go with whatever suits you the best. They both have their pro's and cons and you really have to know what you want from your computer.

What is latest version of Mac OS?

As everyone who has ever used any piece of technology knows, it evolves at a amazingly fast speed and (as an exaggerated example) it seems as if by the time you walk out of the store with your new computer there is already a newer one. Because of the fact that technology evolves so fast, there will most likely be a newer version of Mac OS X available by the time you read this.

Right now (March, 2013) Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 is the most current version.

You can check what the most current version is by going to Apple and just looking around. You can also update to the most current version by going to the "Check For Updates..." menu item in the Apple Menu. But do note that to upgrade (say from Snow Leopard to Lion or Lion to Mountain Lion) you'll need to pay from $20 to $30 in the Mac AppStore.

How do you switch users on a Mac without logging off?

What is one of the primary reasons that Macs aren't as susceptible to viruses?

One reason that Macs aren't as vulnerable to viruses is because some of their anti-virus and security features are run on the Unix Kernel-one of the best and oldest out there. Another reason is that many more users are familiar with Windows rather than Macs. I, myself, am one of those people-well, almost. Therefore, creators of viruses most likely use the Windows platform and write them in Windows Code, which means that only Windows Computers can execute these viruses-but Windows Emulators, available for Macs and Apple computers, can execute it too. So you'd be better off running an antivirus program, because your Windows Emulator can spread the virus to your Mac.
