Mac Users - Reveal yourselves

[Part 2]

Yes here!

Running 2 G4 iMacs at the moment, waiting to get to America to get a Macbook/Pro still undecided.

 

[fractionMan]

Wild cat, deodorant or command line web browser?

The last one. I could up the Solaris stats with it I suppose

 

[Dask]

I'm an MCSE and my entire working day revolves around PC's and Microsoft technologies. .NET, SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory etc

However I've always been a Mac user.

I much prefer OS X to anything Microsoft has ever offered.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

hello from my mac xxx

 

[cliche guevara]

I converted at the tail end of last year, after much deliberation. Have a 20" iMac MA876B/A.

 

[Crispy]

Think that's the same as mine. Have boosted the memory to 3GB though.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

Ive got one of them imac angle poise jobby!!!

Boosted mine to 2GB, more than sufficient for my needs. the extra gig was about £16 from Crucial, was well chuffed

 

[revol68]

okay and how many people who own macs are working on a novel?

 

[Crispy]

I turned my brother's travel diary into a book, does that count?

 

[Yossarian]

I've got the choice of my PC or my wife's Mac - generally go for the PC, and I find it hilarious that people get worked up into a frenzy over the advantages of one vs. the other. They're both crap!

 

[cliche guevara]

I'm not anywhere near creative enough for a novel. Mine gets a shit load of use for garageband, but mianly by my housemate. I rarely get to use the thing.

[The Groke]

Fairly recent convert.


Got a 1.8Gz core duo Mac Mini with 2Gb hooked up to the TV for movies and music and my lovely Macbook pro 2.4 Core 2 Duo with a hefty 4Gb RAM. Just cos I could.


I love my Macbook.


I have finally reached the point where, instead of absent mindedly trying to do Windows-y stuff on the Mac, I am now absent mindedly attempting to do Mac stuff/commands on the PC at work.

 

[Mr Moose]

I'm a dedicated mac user.
I love the wire
I love smileys and avatars.

Is everyone here still with me? Where did I lose you all?

 

[Sweaty Betty]

seconded, no book writing here

 

[invisibleplanet]

Mini Mac G4

I started out as a Mac user but have gone too far down the path of darkness to be included in this sample.

I figure Gates and Jobs probably play on the same golf course, anyway, having a laugh about their little pretend rivalries.

^^^Would not suprise me in the slightest.

iMac and Macbook at home...PC at work.

I like the iMac a lot, but I think macbooks are a bit pants ..and may well go back to an hp laptop in the future.

I do that too. I keep moving the mouse to the corner of the screen and then wonder why nothing happens

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that.

Converted for about 3years and I HEART my Macbook, not quite as good as my old Powerbook but definitely miles ahead of ALL the PC laptops I've had in the past.

I've not had to do a complete OS reinstall like I used to have to do every 6mths or so with the PC's.

 

[tangerinedream]

I've had a quadra 650, a Hollywood (mac clone thing) a black g3 powerbook, 2 white g4 ibooks and now got an macbook and an imac. I think the imac is the best computer I have ever owned, followed shortly by the quadra which was brilliant.

I like my macbook but the built quality leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[The Groke]

Yup! Me too.


I also keep attempting to open spotlight and being devastated when I realise I have to trawl my PC for the email/file/image/address etc.....

 

[Crispy]

tbf, vista has spotlight-like search now. no idea how it compares though

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I've seen a couple of things saying that it's not as fast as Leopard; I've not seen any actual numbers though.

In a cupboard, I've got a G3 233Mhz, 160mb RAM. I really should dust it off. Old OS admittedly, and that spec doesn't sound like much, but it ran like shit off the proverbial - even compared with my newer much 'higher' spec PC stuff. Was always very happy with it, mainly for Cubase, but also Photoshop and other demanding stuff.

I struggle with Macs these days... I think there's a kind of "muscle memory" effect when you get used to an OS. You reach for things, find they aren't there, then get frustrated. I've sat with friends MacBooks and really hated trying to use them. But I'm sure it would only take a few days - Apple's belief in simplicity is still thoroughly alive I expect.
