Jul 28, 2011 1:31AM PDT

just thinking that i had 2 pc,s both on vista and windows7 came out while i had my last pc yet it never once occurred to me to update to 7,so i wonder why i am giving so much thought (and probably will do it)to updating to Lion,wonder why its different with my mbp and is anyone else finding it the same?did anyone else not update their pc,s but do update their macs

it wasnt the money with me,i didnt even know how much it would cost,i suspect it may have been the almost" throw it out and get a nice new fast pc" attitude here in the uk when your pc gets to about 3yrs old,almost everyone i know replaces their pc after 2-3yrs,well laptops i should say,i have had 2 in 3yrs,they change specs ect almost as fast as mobile phones,i was told in the shop where i bought my mbp that people tend to keep their beloved macs a long time so maybe thats why im thinking it might be good to upgrade,also mbp,s arnt cheap compared to pcs so you would want to make it last,hey looks like i may have answered my own question,would be interesting to know though if anyone else while not wanting to update a pc is updating a mac.
