ennjott Posted December 19, 2006 Share #121 Posted December 19, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) main box: Pentium 4 Northwood running Debian GNU/Linux second box: AMD64 dual boot Debian & Windows XP Both w/ 2 GB RAM. Eizo 20" CRT & Samsung 21" UXGA TFT. No color calibration, it's possible under Linux but not well supported yet. Proprietary operating systems like Mac OS and Windows are no fun, they're the equivalent of a point & shoot camera. My first computer was a C64..

Advertisement Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Hi ennjott, Take a look here POLL: Mac or PC. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
edlbell Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share #122 Posted December 19, 2006 WOW - I never expected that the use of Mac would be so great. It has been great to see what people are using, and the enthusiasm everyone has for their systems. Some observations beyond that are that most people are using at least 2 gig of ram, and that color calibration systems are not as widely used as I would have thought. I will, as promised, tally the results, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. (Unless it keeps snowing in the mountains of Colorado, then I might have that dreaded cough that will keep me away from doing what I should be and require me to head into the mountinas for some high altitude remedies!!) I promise to bring back some photos! Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlancasterd Posted December 19, 2006 Share #128 Posted December 19, 2006 Don't laugh. The first PC I used seriously had two 360KB 5.25" floppies, and no harddrive. My first personal computer had a 20GB harddrive and 3MB of RAM, and a 386sx16 cpu. A screamin' monster, that one. Why should I laugh? I learnt about wordprocessing and databases on an 8-bit Amstrad with 256k of RAM running CPM+ and LocoScript. It took low-capacity 3" floppy disks which were difficult to find (and expensive) and was so slow that reformatting a 30 or 40 page document could take over an hour...

wstotler Posted December 20, 2006 Share #134 Posted December 20, 2006 It would seem to me that it can't hurt for somebody here to "tip off" Apple and Leica that the response was overwhelmingly Mac in here? (Sure, results are indicative, but I was shocked at the number of Leica/Mac users.) After all, wouldn't it be good for Apple's brand and Leica's brand to have tightly integrated features and support going forward with the M8 and the Mac software/hardware platform? (Not to mention making many Mac/Leica users happy happy.) It can't hurt--if I understand correctly several of the Leica digitals aren't recognized in a variety of ways by Mac apps. Software updates are needed. Maybe this can be a "tipping point" to get Leica/Apple to play nice and get support code into OS X and appropriate apps? And, if Leica/Apple already know maybe it's time for a reminder? Later! Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammam Posted December 20, 2006 Share #136 Posted December 20, 2006 Why should I laugh? I learnt about wordprocessing and databases on an 8-bit Amstrad with 256k of RAM running CPM+ and LocoScript. It took low-capacity 3" floppy disks which were difficult to find (and expensive) and was so slow that reformatting a 30 or 40 page document could take over an hour... I really feel like a dinosaur here. My fist computer was an IBM PC which had 64 Ks of Ram. That's Ks, not Megs. It didn't even have a floppy disc reader. But it had DOS, which made Bill Gates' fortune. For whatever you wanted to do, you had to write some DOS code, and then record the whole thing on a mini-cassette recorder which you plugged at the back. Later I added a 5 1/4" floppy disc reader, Did that feel state-ot-the-art! I kept that for a while, and then I bought one of the first Macs Classic, and never looked back at PC or, much later, Windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
