Macs, they are only good for art and rendering.

Why would he use a Lada if he can use a BMW ?

Firstly, rendering is a process used in creating art.

Secondly, whether you are aware of it or not, macs are firmly entrenched throughout the entire communications spectrum. Almost every printed advertisement, book, billboard, CD booket, flyer, newspaper, POP, packaging, magazine, and a large chunk of the corporate web sites you visit were, and are, created using a Mac.

They are the backbone of the design industry (print and digital). Most of the creative and production work done, across this continent, for print advertising, book and magazine publishing, and a large chunk of corporate web site design and development is done on Macs. That's a basic fact, not wishful thinking.

Personally, I'm just wondering why Mac bashing always finds its way to an area where the bashers are outclassed by the more informed

I'm just thankfulKilljoy is on our side.

[Killjoy]

Thanks FlameFlash!

Hey, NP... all I'm wondering now is where you get your facts... I like to stay informed of everything so I can stand up to the bashing IRL...

where does everybody go to get all their data?

Most people in these forums sit on it while they post.

Seriously though, the figures came right out of his ass.

Ask him to cite some real figures.

FlameFlash,
I'm not sure where everyone else goes to get their data, but you can trust me. I wouldn't steer you wrong. Macs are here to stay!!

There are just too many of us now, and the PC world has become way too dependant on us mac-using, creative-types to liven up their otherwise dull, gray world.

Hell without macs they'd still be using DOS and 5.25" floppies...

Cheers

If Macs are here to stay, could you explain the drop to 3% of the worldwide market from 5.2% five years ago? Source is Time magazine...

[FlameFlash]

Because there are more people in the world than there were five years ago (think world census.)

Because the older iMacs had become dull and boring.

Because OS X didn't have as many great software peices and OS 9.x was getting old and grizzly.

And I don't hear you refuting the fact that without Macs we'd still be using DOS.

I switched to Macs when I got one too many headaches from PC troubleshooting.

Then I started performing Voodoo rituals against the PC.
Wait! That's not very funny afterall.

Anyway I'm glad Apple is geting ahead in the Prosseser speed department. Good work Motarola.

To any of you PC trolls who follow Wiglaf into these domains:

Even if you actually have numbers that favor PCs (doubtful, maybe, but possible), what significance do they have. For me, most of the advantages to Macs are asthetic. I've a few PCs, and most of them had major or minor operational difficulties. My MacOSX G4, on the other hand, has crashed once in the 5 months since i have had OSX. THis is just a personal preference, but i also find that the MacOS just looks better than Windows.

As to the Mac purchases going down, sure they went down, but they've gone up. The Mac is here to stay, even if it does stay at the fringe (likely), for that is the nature of the market. For the sake of the general populice, a world where there is only one OS would not be a good thing at all, Microsoft is bad enough as it is.
