Oh, are you implying that the "creative" people use Macs? Seems like I
may have heard that one before.
Here's a data point:
I've been working out of a post house here in Seattle. Major
place...does Hollywood stuff at times. They have a hundred computers
or more. Four are Macs. They are used for running Final Cut. (Funny, I
first typed Cult....) Anyway, all the rest of the boxes are PCs, the
Mac are only there to run the Mac only software. Final Cut is a fine
product by the way.
