I never participate in this type of thread but... Please bear in mind that the mac has always been in the majority in the creative end of computer use. Still is today. Ive been in the graphics arts business since 1989. Photoshop wasnt available for the pc. It was a MAC ONLY program, ALL the creative programs were MAC ONLY. I think about the only thing we had was a vector program named GEM Draw. Some mac user in a recent thread said something to the effect that, program developers arent even saying theyre sorry anymore when a program isnt available for the mac. Hell over the years, Ive NEVER seen, Im sorry this program is mac only. The pc catalogs I get all have references to the mac version of the program or a mac catalog section. Have you seen a pc section in a mac catalog? The mac users would start a boycott. Apple users then and now scowl at pc users as unfit to be in THEIR universe. Unlike Jackson, over the years EVERY time Ive had occasion to need some assistance the ONLY advice Ive ever gotten from a mac user is BUY A MAC!. I could never figure out if that crappy, juvenile attitude came in the box with the os, or people with that attitude all buy macs. Now that the worm has turned a little, and a FEW programs are getting off their knees and recognize some other os beside the mac, the macheads are screaming bloody murder. macheads, youll get no sympathy from me. Sorry for the rant. Pinto
