This article has been on the street for about a week, and I had heard that a lot of Mac users were up in arms about it. Tonight I was catching up on some blogs and read the article. What I read about blew my socks off. No wonder the Mac crowd went a little wacko on the comments that were written.
I have had my Mac now about 7 or 8 months it sits on my desk but I hardly use it. I did go one week straight as part of a commitment I made to my show listeners. I’ll be honest it’s a computer and just like the Windows machine sitting in front of me it’s also just a computer.
The 100 or so Mac programs I have downloaded installed and tried have not been that compelling at least not compelling enough to switch permanently. Everyone says macs are the great enablers allowing you to do thing easier than a PC I’m not drinking the koolaid!
Hate to say this but I think some of the Mac users ought to sit down and work for a week straight on a PC and they might realize that the operating system are not that different. The only thing that took me a day or so to figure out was how to install programs on the mac in a way that they would clean up after themselves when removed. Otherwise no real stretch.
I don’t need to switch because I use whatever is convenient at the time, and until something really wows me I will be plugging away on my Windows based PC to get work done including graphics and video which I have superior tools to edit and create with already. [russellbeattie.com]
