I can work with either or but the stability of a Mac is so much better! I agree with you on it’s what you create not what you create it with. For years, I worked on a 13.5 CRT monitor and made some cool stuff.

My friend and I were recently discussing about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.

I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside… I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.

Ryan, I agree with you that a designer/developer needs good tools to do decent work. Regardless, you can buy a very decent PC for $800 and that will run all of your heavy programs pretty flawlessly, opposed to a Mac which will take you well over a grand. The Mac experience is definitely a smoother one. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog as well!

David, I have never used a 3D program on a Mac. I hardly dabble in 3D these days, but I was thinking about cinema 4d, and how it would run on my Mac. I don’t know much about Maya, hopefully you can work out your kinks with running it on a Mac so you don’t have to run out and purchase a PC! I also have Parallel that I use to test website in IE. It is unreal to be working on a PC inside your Mac. Haha.

David A., I am still breaking the magic mouse in. It is so sensitive, but it is slowly growing on me. Happy New Years to you as well, I hope you have a great 2010!

Got the Magic Mouse as a Christmas gift. Love it. Such an improvement on the so-called Mighty.

Happy new year, by the way!

I agree, I’m not much of a designer, but I’ve been trying to get into 3D art these days.
I’d love to stick with Snow Leopard, but Maya 2010 has problems and ZBrush 3.5 isn’t available for the Mac.
For the past couple days I’ve been running Windows in Boot Camp and I can’t really say I’m preferring it, but it still gets the job done. I just think the OSX operating is a much smoother experience and is easier on the eyes.

If I had a choice, it’ll be Mac, for sure.

For me OS X is a much more enjoyable, smooth running environment to work with so from that point of view it helps improve my ability to work and the work I produce.

People say a computer is just a tool so it doesn’t matter, but I say it matter a lot. A joiner will have a preference on his tools (such as a decent hammer) because it’s something he uses every day. Poor tools will impact on his daily work.

A computer is something we use every day, while it isn’t the answer to creating great work it’s still a huge factor.

I moved to Mac after about 15 years of using Windows and it was move well worth making.
