@Rob → Like you, I love Macs and would rather have jut one than 10 PCs! I have a MacBook too, but only use it for browsing the web and reading in bed, lol.

I’m a Mac boy through and through. I used to work in the publishing industry and used them from 1990 onwards. The first I bought was an expensive Proforma which was probably the low point of Macs (Steve Jobs wasn’t there at the time). But after that I had a couple of G4′s for £200 each (they’re not that expensive if you buy second hand and you can trust a second hand Mac). Now I’m on an iMac “Core 2 Duo” 2.0 and it’s absolutely beautiful. It handles all my work and that includes high res stuff as well. I have a laptop with Vista that I hate and will be buying a MacBook soon.

To be honest Andrew, my stubbornness to change no doubt plays a part here lol.

I worked in IT for a lot of years and as a result am really specific when I tailor build my systems and operating systems. I build my machines for max performance with no frills for the best price. Paying an extra grand for the shiny case never sat well with me lol.

But I must admit, that 27″ machine looks fantastic.

@Kiren → I can remember the first time I used the Wacom, and it took ages to use properly. Now, however, I use it for all work on the Mac.

Even in Firefox, I have the buttons set up to open tabs and go back. I even set up the buttons to play and stop in itunes. The possibilities are endless.

Oh yeah, I also do a little designing with it

Thanks for commenting…

I love apple so much. The stuff is just top of the line, I’ve had a 10 year old G4 that I was still using for graphic work up till I bought my Macbook last month. They last and are reliable. Expensive but worth every penny. I have a Wacom tablet, can’t imagine using it for everything though like yourself;)

@Andrew → Hmm, what are you doing with your PC’s? Trying to figure out the nearest black hole via mathematics?

No, I need simple stuff, as I have enough touch decisions to make regarding my design work; hehe

@David → My Mighty Mouse has been sat next to my Wacom tablet collecting dust for 2 years, I’ve used it once, but I don’t really like mice at all, I wouldn’t even use the new one, although I’d play with it just for fun, yoink!

Just watched it, Andrew. Looks gorgeous. I'll pick up a Magic Mouse once it's sold separately—Might Mouse not recommended. .-= David Airey´s last blog ..McCadden Design brandmarks =-.

I really like alot of the mac hardware but could never get my head around the software.

I started using computers back in the days of the commodore 64 and DOS etc. I’m pretty technically proficient and prefer having advanced control over my systems.

I find a lot of the mac interface so “user friendly” that I cant find the options I want and find it harder to use lol.
