Advertisement Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Hi graham_mitchell, Take a look here POLL: Mac or PC. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
etienne_werner Posted December 24, 2006 Share #162 Posted December 24, 2006 Well I feel I have to offset a bit the vast majority of Mac's used here with some PC's: In my office and at home I use more than 20 pc's (including SGI) running XP, Win200, NT and Linux. Also have 2 sun sparcs running Unix and 1 lonely Mac G4 which only has to run a browser to look at pictures coming in from the Reuters satellite. To be honest, I did start out with more Mac's but in those days (1994) the Mac's weren't multi-tasking and, as a system engineer found out, they had a serious program fault in their network communication software which would crash all the macs on the network at least 10 times on a daily basis. I do believe that with OS X things have improve significantly and thruth be told; they do look good! rgds, Etienne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamilsukun Posted December 24, 2006 Share #163 Posted December 24, 2006 Macs since SE, which is still running! Dennis, SE was a great machine. Ran flawlessly for years. So were Quadra series. A real work horse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamilsukun Posted December 24, 2006 Share #164 Posted December 24, 2006 The majority of Lecia users prefer Macs. This does not seem a coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfage Posted December 24, 2006 Share #166 Posted December 24, 2006 I'm not surprised by the outcome of this poll, at all. The same goes for the music creation business. I would guess that less than 10% use PC. Apple always has been for creative work and creative people. Always has been, always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whorg Posted December 25, 2006 Share #167 Posted December 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Macs were first embraced by the artists because the interface was, and still is . . . a right brained thing. But honestly, I've used both for years . . . there's really nothing to compare between them, for they are merely machines that process two numbers via electrons at high rates of speed, that's all. ~jk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question. The lap top is available with a choice of matt or glossy screen. Any comments? Mark, Congratulations for the decision to upgrade your computer. The glossy screen; looks good when the computer is off or the first ten seconds when you turn it on. It is impossible to work on images. You see the reflections of everything in the room. The whites and blacks are artificial. For a photographer, the definite choice is matt screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Roberts Posted January 8, 2007 Share #180 Posted January 8, 2007 Wow--a lot of Macs! Here, it's all IBM-style PCs... The main computer is a home-made Intel 3.4GHz processor / Intel Mobo running 2GB RAM, with Adaptec Ultra SCSI 320 15K RPM Seagate Cheetah drives for main work (faster throughput than SATA), plus a Redhat LINUX server and two or three IBM laptops running XP Pro. My partner has a Dell something or other, I think. No Macs, because I build a computer for myself whether I like it or not every couple of years Keeps it fresh! Oh--this year it's a Vista, 6GB and core2 duo upgrade. Yay--Windows with more memory!! In fact, the only thing Apple here is an iPod or two, but I figure that will be a Mac before long For colour, I'm using Gretag Macbeth Eye One Photo (the spectro version) with GM ProfileMaker Pro 5.08. I also have Fuji's profiling software for editing and printmaking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
