This isn't a Mac "issue" per se, but it doesn't really belong in a non-Mac-related forum here.
We're a pretty geeky crowd here, and I was wondering how many of you fellow Z users are recent (as in, the past year) switchers to the Mac? You get one side on, for instance, the MacRumors forums, where non-techie folks seem to be a dime a dozen, but it'd be nice to get some idea of how many power users have taken the plunge. For the record, I switched in the pre-iPod days. |

I bought the last model of Apple iBooks. 14" 1.42ghz Apple iBook G4 with superdrive.
I needed a laptop. I decided to get an Apple one. I already have a desktop with Linux and Windows. A desktop is gonna be better than any laptop anyway. I wanted a laptop that was low maintenance and I always wanted to get an Apple so I got the iBook with Mac OS X Tiger. I love it. I do quite a bit of video editing on here with Final Cut Pro. There are lots of open source software for Mac OS X as well. Battery life on this thing is kick ass too. 6 hours! And I done it before. Do I have any regrets? No. I just wish I could use x86 Linux on this thing. (I tried PowerPC Linux on my iBook. Just a total lack of support and community. Also no Flash player.) |
