OH AM I HAPPY!
I still don't get the typical comment. If your using Art as your basis for my Apple use, you are greatly mistaken. I've spent under a year studying art. I've worked as an IT supervisor at my school for 4 years. I worked on general computing issues and such for years before that. I've studied CS/Prog languages/Hardware architecture for about 7 years, or so......I'm not really sure where Art comes into my decision making. I didnt even own Photoshop until 3 months ago! Well, besides the LE versions..
I've just liked my Apple's better. I used to only use the PC and decided one day, a buncha years back, to try Mac OS. I liked it, so I stuck with it. It's not for everyone, but its for me. I know lotsa people on campus who are unhappy with their PC's, but for some reason, they just refuse to try an Apple. Anyone can do fine on any platform, but if your not willing to give it a fair chance, it won't work for you. My PC, when I turn it on, has many more mp3 downloading clients than my mac. LimeWire gets most of my stuff for me on the Mac OS, but I think Morpheus is better. I know its a simplistic example, but its just a matter of finding the best way to get things done, recoginizing them, and implementing them.
I've been trained on both platforms, they both have merits and disadvantages...for me, I prefer the Apple platform...but that's just my way of doing my business...everyone's different. I will say, barring my Apple use, I'd hate to see the day they stop producing products. We all should be hoping Jobs' excitement over his 2003 line-up is accurate...if Apple wasn't around, everyone would be at a loss. Like 'em or hate 'em, they are responsible for many technologies that we enjoy today.
Ok, I'm gonna go goof off on my laptop now!
Have a great day all!
