    Well, I went to design school, and due to his­to­ri­cal pre­ce­dent along the lines of “They only make good design pro­grams for Macs” back in the day, most of what we were sup­po­sed to do there was on them.
    Howe­ver, these days I can still use the same pro­grams on a PC and do what I want there too. So why’s the Mac such a damn big deal? Mac isn’t the only com­pu­ter for the arts out there any more…everyone’s got Pho­toshop, for chrissake.

    It’s worth men­tio­ning that while Macs defi­ni­tely aren’t the only com­pu­ters for the arts, PCs, equally, aren’t the only com­pu­ters for the admin.
    Time and again when I evan­ge­lise my OS of choice peo­ple say “but that’s great if you’re crea­tive like you, but I’m just an –insert boring job-”. That’s just crap these days, I may own a “crea­tive” com­pany, but I’m an admin guy myself.
    The stereotype/stigma/assumption works both ways…!

    I have MSPaint! That is all I will ever need. Of course, I’m a pretty gosh darn bad artist.

    Hugh,
    Thanks for poin­ting to your ear­lier post, where you make clear your com­pu­ting brand pre­fe­rence.
    “If Apple had a human voice, it would sound like Dou­glas Cou­pland.”
    That’s almost enuf to make me go out and buy a PC.
    Howe­ver, before I com­mit such a dan­ge­rous act, let me coun­ter with this thought. “If Apple had a human voice, it would sound like Arundhati Roy.”
