[2011-09-08 18:58:30 UTC] yeah I don't think there is an objective answer to that one [2011-09-08 18:59:48 UTC] in my head I concatenate 'for me, ' onto the front. macs are better for a lot of people, and for a lot of functions. no-knowledge end loser? get a mac. creative professional? you should probably get a mac. in some cases you have to for industry-standard software. [2011-09-08 19:00:12 UTC] I used to hate them, but I kinda want one :/ [2011-09-08 19:00:22 UTC] they're still $$$ though [2011-09-08 19:01:06 UTC] and I've heard they have been fighting the whole hackintosh scene to try to keep osx on mac hardware, but I haven't researched it myself [2011-09-08 19:02:52 UTC] I was actually going to drop $30 or whatever it is on a whim at best buy but the sales guy talked me out of it. in retrospect what's $30 for a fun experiment at worst and a new os at best? [2011-09-08 19:03:11 UTC] a good deal, that's what! [2011-09-08 19:03:24 UTC] ps lovin the gallop of this broccoli chott [2011-09-08 19:50:09 UTC] I don't see how macs can be the best option for anyone... Anyone that's too stupid to use Windows, shouldn't be allowed to use a computer. And, I have no idea why everyone says that if you're a creative professional you need a mac... they use the exact same software on macs as they do on PCs. I know this, because I'm a professional graphics designer. [2011-09-08 20:01:00 UTC] Logic is a big one for the music industry [2011-09-08 20:01:47 UTC] macs have vastly superior handling of color spaces and fonts as well [2011-09-08 20:03:13 UTC] while I believe that there are legitimate reasons including those above for creative professionals to use macs, another is past a certain threshold the cost of ownership is a loooot lower [2011-09-08 20:03:17 UTC] because of the standard [2011-09-08 20:04:13 UTC] since most graphic design shops run mac, most of the field, most of the experts, are on mac. blog posts, forum users, tutorials, little one-off freebie tools, the bulk of the third-part resources will be geared towards mac. [2011-09-08 20:07:19 UTC] although again graphic-design specific not the most massive actual impact [2011-09-08 20:09:00 UTC] mac does the walled-garden thing so much better than windows, too. in general I feel like macs do way less than windows, but they do better at what they do do. hehehe doodoo. [2011-09-08 20:13:04 UTC] In all the different printers I've gone to and clients I've worked for, I've not once ran into a situation where I had to use a Mac. Also, nobody is being forced to use Logic... there are plenty of Windows alternatives to it that are just as good if not better. [2011-09-08 22:32:48 UTC] I don't like macs because I can't right click so everything takes forever to do. [2011-09-08 22:34:42 UTC] Also they always crash non-stop when I use them. [2011-09-08 22:35:54 UTC] I can't make a decision about liking them more or less for creative reasons, because they never stay stable long enough for me to run a program. [2011-09-08 22:42:57 UTC] I used a friend's mac laptop once and the touchpad and clicking interface where the same thing and I was all "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS" and stormed out in disgust. [2011-09-08 22:54:42 UTC] Well, I just can't stand anything inferior to a mouse... so I can't even really tell the difference between that kind of interface and any other laptop set up. [2011-09-08 22:54:48 UTC] Although clit mice are sexy. [2011-09-08 23:09:04 UTC] You can right click with a mac mouse, you just have to set it up to work that way, which is retarded.
