I use a Mac, however I¹m also coming from the graphic design / web development side. I, a long time ago, was a diehard PC user. Actually I was a technician, skilled in the art of fixing all things WinTel. Then one day, kicking and screaming, I was introduced to the white computer with the distinctive bitten apple logo. Reluctantly, over time, I came to the understanding that I could actually get work accomplished without requiring an A+ certificate, numerous Microsoft Certs or an on-call IT support team. The damn thing just worked! Can you believe that? Amazing...
Actually, using the OSX operating system natively allows you to work with files as they would appear in an Apache server. Being a Unix based OS (closer relative, not distant cousin like Winx), you can do things that would require extra software, patches, etc on Windows. Add in virtualization and you can easily and efficiently run any OS in real time, switching at will and it doesn¹t break! Sure Windows has it¹s place... As a virtual OS on my OSX desktop ;) -- Blair From: Haykel BEN JEMIA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:49:58 +0200 To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcoders] Do you use a Mac? Hi, this is probably off topic, but I noticed that most of the screencasts I watched about Flex are made on Mac OSX. Do most Flex developers work on Mac? Are most developers in the USA using Macs (as most screencasts I watched are done by people from the US)? Are their any advantages on using a Mac instead of a PC for Web/Flex development? I'm just wondering as I never used a Mac before. -- Haykel Ben Jemia Allmas Web & RIA Development http://www.allmas-tn.com
