  1. Comment - Report: 1 Million Mac Switchers in 2005

    (Nov 8, 2005 - 11:34 AM)

    One million and one? I've been using PC's since 1983, building them since 1985, an AMD64 fan the last several years.

    After significant reliability problems with two HP enterprise grade laptops, I dumped office and some of the Mac versions of sceintific/engineering software I use on the Powerbook (originally only bought for "fun stuff" six months ago) and haven't looked back. Apps used include Office, Deltagraph, Life Balance, Keynote, Maple 10, Ashlar-Vellum Xenon, Sticky Brain, Omni Graffle, Notebook, and Nikon Capture, and Adobe Acrobat, and InDesign.

    On the PC, I still use Altium Designer, Catena SIMetrix, and LspCAD 6.

    Best move I've made in years, but then I've been running XP skinned as Aqua a long time, anyway.
