Much as I normally dislike Rockwell, I am in full agreement with him
on this. I know a lot of high-end professional photographers, and
nearly every one of them uses Mac. I'm a strong advocate of Mac for
imaging use, and even more so for digital video work.

I'd agree for DV, but I've met a number of PC Pro Photoshop users. If
the Mac has a majority of that market, it's a small one. Long-time pro's
are more likely to be a part of it because 10 years ago the Mac was the
clear winner, but today it's mostly a toss-up.
