Do you use Mac or Windows as your preferred computer?
Consider this a sort of informal "survey." I'm curious about those of you out there visiting us -- do you generally use a Windows computer or a Mac computer? Or both? Or perhaps something else, like Linux?
I ask because I keep seeing all those clever Mac commercials on TV and I wonder how much 1) truth and 2) impact they're having on the average computer buyer/user out there.
I know for years the preferred "weapon of choice" for people who tackle graphics-oriented jobs has been Mac. Because of the abundance of software and relative cheap hardware, Windows has always "owned" the business world.
At the dawn of the PC age (almost), I worked on the editorial staff of a weekly magazine. Chiefly at the recommendation of the magazine's graphics artist and the people in the production area and pre-press area, we used Macs. I recall the two biggest hassles way back then was the huge amount of Mac memory needed to do even simple stuff, and the unreliability of Mac hard drives. But I know such things have improved radically.
I still find it hard to believe that so many people, according to those famous, laid-back television commercials, are switching from Windows to Macs.
So what do you use most? Mac? Windows? Other??
