Not golf - computers
I see a lot of positive Mac responses, and I have nothing
against Mac
(use to have one for a while). But the biggest question you
need to ask
yourself is:
What am I going to use this box for?
You got a real business and running
a financial application?
Realistically not on Mac you are. Needing to
set up web server and
application server to enable your database so that
you can book real
time orders dependent upon your supply chain.
Realistically not on Mac
are you. Developing a golf app you want to
share/sell to your peers
that is web enabled, and want to keep licensing
costs to a minimum (ie:
free databases, etc). Realistically, not on Mac
are you.
Let's
face it, its the applications, not the box itself, which dictates
the
value you get from a computer. I know for what I use a computer
for,
Mac isn't an option as there are no applications available. I get
the
"graphics" speech at time, but lets face it, if you are doing
serious
graphics work (say using Lightwave) when was the last Mac
release? It is
much more supported in MS and Linux as well as flavors
of UNIX (IRIX).
Even the major studios don't use it. It use to be
that IRIX and
DigitalUNIX (now Tru64UNIX) were the ones, but there is a
stronger
influence of MS and Linux. (As far as Linux, imagine being
able to
create a large cluster (Beowulf) with no additional licensing
costs and
process your rendering needs in 1/4th the time. There is
value in
reduced time to market.)
Again not trying to slam Mac
(remember I use to own one), its just that
you should do your homework
on what you need it to do before you make
the purchase.
Even
Apple doesn't use their stuff to run there
business.
