KP14 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Mac with CS2. I'm looking forward to CS3 though, in the hopes that Adobe will finally fix the menu placement issues after 5 years...among other quirks. JerseyDatabase.com - I'm that guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjet88 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Unfortunately, I have to use a PC at work. I forgot to mention that. But we do have a MAC and I do go on there at least once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP14 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm sort of amazed that the old PC vs. Mac argument hasn't been taken to the next level yet. I thought it was a rule on forums that someone with a PC would complain ruthlessly on the mere mention of a Mac and any subtle hint that it may in fact be superior. Perhaps there is more sophistication here... JerseyDatabase.com - I'm that guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Mac, CS2, and I'm upgrading to CS3. I used to run on PC. When it crapped out on me, I switched to Mac, and I will never EVER go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Had/have an OS X iBook. Loved/love it. Then, it was unceremoniously slammed to the ground in a fight, and I don't have the cash to get a new one. So, I'm relegated to this piece of crap Compaq desktop at work. I don't have any thing against PCs in general, but I hate this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have a PC with Photoshop CS2 on it. It currently runs of 256MB of RAM, which is (surprisingly) just about capable of running greedy Photoshop. I must upgrade my RAM soon...I've tried a Mac before, but I didn't like it at all, my main reasons being the odd mouse design and the OS layout.

ProvidenceRI Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 -PCs aren't made for designing? I've designed on both... both are the same.-True, the Apple mouse does suck. Like the ipod headphones. They just need to be normal on this front.-Before you Mac people get all cocky, realize that the Mac GUI was originally developed for Apple by Xerox. Apple's most innovative design was not even their own.-Microsoft is an evil corporation. Windows is a horrible OS. It is a ripoff of Mac OS9 that they can't even do correctly. Recycle bin? Start menu?-Using the control key hurts my pinky on a PC when I do shortcuts-Safari sucks-IE is worse than Safari-I love OSX. Though I am not crazy about the Doc. I prefer the Apple Menu from OS9.

oddball Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I have a pc at home an Athlon 902 or something like that, it's about 4 years old and runs well. I have on it photoshop 7, have a copy of cs2 but why put it on when 7 does what I need it to. I have Illustrator 10 which runs beautifully, and just put on 3d msx 5 just to keep me in the modeling mode so I don't lose those skills after this term ends. I use max 8 at school on a pc. Actually it's the first term I've used a pc at school as all my other classes Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, In Design, and Flash (all available on pc), I used on a Mac. I don't understand the argument that one is better than the other. They're computers and it's the user that makes them more difficult than they really are. I just wonder about people and if they haven't seen the reality of computers, they are the SAME!!! It's like the dumb argument about which car is better. Look which ever one does the job for you, be happy and use it until it dies and then go buy another one. Both macs and pcs are good computers, but remember the key that the operating system is only as smart as the user using it. If you gave the most powerful computer to a 90 year old who's never touched one before, he'll hate it. Yet give it to that 12 year old and he'll love it. Why? Experience. Sorry about this rave. I just have been frustrated over the years with this argument. Though I have to say that the Mac commercials are classic! *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
