Aside from the obvious, video/audio editing, and such basic things like Internet/e-mail/word processing, what else is a mac good for? I don't really play too many games. I like Hardware and stuff like that. What do you guys/gals do with your mac aside from the usual?
Everyday business use with WP, graphics, spread sheets, VPC, and database use, besides all the personal use of the iLife app's. Unlike my wintel box here, the Mac just keeps on working. I am at a remote location and use VPN all day to interface with our home offices. It's by far the "secret" to my productivity that baffles my home office co-workers who relate everything to what windooz can do. <G>
Programming, database development, systems administration of a half dozen different Linux servers, oracle database administration, testbed for Oracle 10 (10G was just released for the Mac), Windows system administration (via MS' RDC), bioinformatics, laughing at PC lusers with their viruses and spyware...at home I also play with 3D modelling and rendering both stills and animation, and stuff like that.
