One of my high school buddies, who has a degree in computer science and has been doing digital photography/desktop publishing on Macs since 1990 and currently works as a "new media" consultant, doesn't use OSX. He says it's too buggy and doesn't have good support for video editing. "I think I'll wait a bit longer before I switch." He doesn't seem excited about OSX at all. I guess once you find something that does what you want they way you want it to, everything else pretty much sucks ... hmmm ... I think I can relate ;) And, of course, there's that "best tool for the job" thing. Then again, M$ has distributed enough innefficient crud and FUD to make people think they need to "throw out the old computer because it's useless" and get a gig processor to read email and surf the web. Not that I'm against technology "trickling down", it's just that a lot of good stuff ends up in the dump, and chip manufacturing isn't exactly a "green industry". Anyway, three cheers to Apple for helping to show that OpenSource works! -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
