Yes, and there are some out there who still insist on using wooden lead pencils for writing. The output will eventually be the same, but getting there is more laborious ~ consumes a greater number of manhours. Given the output in 'plain text' I've seen operators who far prefer the old amber or green screen and archaic text of early Dos days... Not many, but some do. These guys work for themselves, you understand. No-one wants to hire them for some odd reason. I'm not trying to be absurd here, these people exist. Just as folks exist that have used both, are equally (or almost equally) proficient with both platforms, who prefer Windows. I'm NOT arguing that, however... I've used both Macs and Windows and Unix (Sun) machines, professionally, for CADD work, and while I could eventually get the same work out of all of them, I far prefer the Macintosh for my work platform because it's far easier for ME to work with, it's more intuitive and they ALL work alike, 2 years old or 15 years old! Up thru O/S 8.x they did, anyhow. That's changing. I recognize that. But, that's just me. Others may have other opinions. No problem with that. It's just that I've not met very many who are equally proficient in CADD or Graphics design on either machine that actually prefer Windows units... These people predominately prefer the Mac.
