1187900 2011-03-21 23:02:00 if you want to hang out with the fancy people at starbucks that read and are easily swayed by those expensive fancy "industry standard" magazines in starbucks then get a mac

Nah, just get a good-looking PC - they exist in vast numbers :D

Take my Eee 1215N for example - it ain't exactly ugly. :D

1187901 2011-03-21 23:25:00 What is it about macs that make them better for photography and graphic design? Aren't these apps also available for windows?

20 years ago they out performed PC's and became the industry standard for graphic design, 15 years ago PC hardware caught up,spanked em silly and raced off into the future.

In response to losing their performance advantage Apple just pretended they still had it and increased the wank factor tenfold and charged three arms and a leg.

To the point they fell so far behind in performance they ditched their entire platform,put a new face on linux, installed it on some PC hardware, and sold it to their devotees.

OSX is doomed to failBSOD is the usual acronym for that.

BSD == Berkeley Software Distribution (also Berkeley Standard Distribution).

RAGE
FEAR3
