Why in the world would a professional *artist/audio engineer/video editor* care about the inner workings of a machine? They are concerned with producing graphics, sound, or video. They don't care about the guts of a computer like most of us here do. I know a professional studio tech that uses protools to do all of his recording of local bands and such, and he's been using mac all along. He doesn't care about video cards, the latest games, all the software a PC has over a mac, nothing.
He just needs protools to work, nonstop, and without error. And mac has been doing that for him. PC's are still more complex and harder to setup for people who ARENT COMPUTER GEEKS. I know a great many people who are experts in photoshop, protools, final cut, who couldn't defrag a PC or install a hard drive to save their lives. They don't GIVE A SHIT. They use a computer, in this case a mac, to do a specific job. Then they go home and don't worry about it, where us, we sit and post on forums and change IRQ's and install video cards and fuck with hardware and software all day.
We're all a buch of greasemonkey mechanics talking about cars and motors. To us, yeah, the inner workings matter.
But to most everyone else in the world... they just want it to work and do what it should. And mac's do that.
This whole thread, this whole FORUM is way biased because most of us have a HOBBY that is COMPUTERS. If your hobby is digital artwork, or music production, get a mac and never look under the hood.
I don't care how my car works. I don't care about the sweet Flowmasters or the K&N filter you have. It fucking drives me to work, where I can sit and use my windows PC and have all the fun in the world messing with it and using the computer itself as a hobby. |
This hasn't been an eqfanboy forum since before the current forum version was even implemented sometime in '02.
Hell, go to the news section on the front page and go back to the earliest post and you'll find that.
What I find that aggravates the living fuck out of me is people with macs thinking they're suddenly some advanced civilization with a cure to cancer. In all honesty, try to name one thing a mac can do that a PC can't, not much right? If anything. Now try vice versa, sure, mac's can boot up windows now, but then why even bother buying one?
