PrintableWasn't there an issue near the beginning of the club where the downloadable program wasn't functional with Mac's? Or was this not the case? | |

"Nobody squeals with delight when they open their new package from Dell. Macs inspire delight."
I so agree with Tackham. Opening the box of a new Mac inspires delight. Everything is wrapped so neatly. Then you put the computer on your desk and you just stare at it. I know it is just a matter of tastes but Macs make me happy. Even websites I'm familiar with don't look as good viewed on a PC. Anyway, this is an endless debate. Mac users are passionate about their machines. | |

I know I've seen Macs on stage. Probably linked to the keyboards or something !?
But a lot of things on the internet run better on PC's. So he probably has both. | |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

If you view your computer as just a machine to check email on, and you don't mind paying tech support people every time something goes wrong because Windows is too much of a maze for the average person to figure out, then fine. Buy a PC. They are generally cheaper.
Macs are better because the hardware is beautiful and appealing and the OS is friendly and elegant while still being powerful. OS X is flexible, stable, and gorgeous. If all you do is check your email and log out, and you don't care if the thing on your desk is ugly, than you won't care. But if you spend a lot of time on your computer, you do enough demanding work to care a lot about stability, and you appreciate that this fairly large (or in the case of laptops, omnipresent) peice of equipment in your home looks stylish, MACS ARE BETTER. If you want an OS that you can understand and use more easily at a more sophisticated level, MACS ARE BETTER. Nobody squeals with delight when they open their new package from Dell. Macs inspire delight. I agree with an earlier comment that Macs are like luxury cars. They don't really get from point a to point b any better, just more reliably, are they more pleasant to use in the proccess. Very well said. Here I sit with my TiBook smiling at every word written above... One more comment and then I'm done on the subject -- I'm a senior designer at a studio in San Antonio, and there *is* still a clear advantage to using Macs over PCs when it comes to professional design. If you want to see a service bureau or offset printer cry you a river, deliver your 100-page annual report designed in QuarkXPress for Windows. For ripping color separations and film, you are better off on a Mac platform. And I'll think you'll find that Photoshop renders effects quicker on a top-of-the-line Mac than on a top-of-the-line PC. AND...I also agree that there is a place for PCs and for Macs in the world. In general, PCs are more widely accepted because PC users have never experienced using a Mac. Mac users are generally Mac users by choice. 
[This message was edited Mon Mar 3 19:33:30 PST 2003 by Doozer] I agree. In my office, I have 2 PCs and 2 Macs, although I only use the Macs for design work. (I just can't use Quark and Photoshop on a PC.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prince is a big time MAC head. The people I know at PP confirm it and all of his art has been done on Mac as well.
PCs are ok if you are doing some basic stuff but if you want to have a creative tool to do your bidding... mac. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.
