I couldn’t agree with you more!

You keep mentioning graphic designers using Mac….are you a graphic designer or an L.A.?  What’s good for one profession may not be for another.
 
I actually have used AutoCAD 2011 for Mac and thought it worked fine.  I didn’t have any problems really other then figuring out the interface a little…my office uses 2010 on PC so the layout is a li…[Read more]

I do own and use both (perfessional and personal use) and they both have problems!  Yes, there’s not doubt…can’t even argue that PC’s get more (alot more!) virus’ but in my experience the Mac’s freeze up way more then my PC’s and at least the PC’s bounce back faster.  Plus, Alex mentioned the Ctrl  + Alt + Del as if it was bad.  At least PC’…[Read more]

I love this arguement too….too many wires…If you’re comparing a desktop PC to an iMac then yes…as long as you don’t need a second hard drive, or DVD drive, then opps…more wires….oh yeah, let’s hook up to the internet…well well, iMac can’t hook up wirelessly…a desktop PC can with the switch of a wireless network card.  Wired mouse…[Read more]

LOL….you crack me up!  Just for reference…my 6 year old HP laptop is still up and running strong and has kept up with my Mother-In-Law’s G5 (actually it’s faster then the G5…we tested it) and her new i7 27″ iMac.  Though you did give me a good chuckle.
 
BTW, using Best Buy and PC World as your benchmark for buying and specing any comp…[Read more]

Well put.  Plus that “secret” attitude is what practically killed them years ago.  I think it’s the fancy graphics and pretty facade that draws Mac users to think like that..lol.

I’ve seen a lot more L.A.’s moving in this direction.  Have you had any compatability issues with any consultants, clients, etc. after you changed over?  I’m asking because I’m more of a PC guy (I understand Windows and it’s inner workings way better then Mac OS but most due to length of time/experience) but I have become an equal fan of Mac,…[Read more]

LOL…Mac diehards are too funny!  That being said, I can’t agree with Alex more.  Just because most firms are using PC, don’t let that be the reason you go with it.  Just know that you will more likely need to learn how to work on a PC…not that is all that different anymore…. if you plan on getting a job at a firm in the US so if you can g…[Read more]

The mouse/tracking pad on the HP’s are totally fine…just takes a little getting used to.  Besides, who even uses a track pad to do everyday work…wireless mouse is the way to go..lol.  Eitherway…they’re way better then Apple’s Magic Mouse…that thing is useless.

It all depends on your preference really.  Mac/PC…they’re both good and will work fine.  Mac’s are flashier and don’t have the virus problems but don’t let anyone tell you they have no problems at all…they have plenty..as many as PC’s.  I use and maintain both and believe me…neither one is more stable, stronger or problemless.  Someone below…[Read more]

Yeah AC 2011 is now available for Mac again…finally!  Student version is much cheaper too.
