This is a good story from that fortune article posted in the comments, a typical PC bullshit problem I end up in about once a week.:
Quote:
I work all day on a PC doing cad work in Rhino and on a mac doing graphics work making the catalog to sell what i make in Rhino. To day (for example) i had to print a manual in pdf form from the pc. to do that i had to go to HP and load the drivers a295 meg download. The first time i accidentally downloaded the 64 bit version which crashed my pc and required 3 restarts to clear. by the time i was done and printing 3 hours had slipped by to load the same printer on my mac i plug it in and it recognizes it picks a driver and starts to print 5 minutes later im done.
i put a ?premium? on my time and there is no savings with a 600 dollar win-tel box that does not get quickly eaten up in wasted time and i dare any win-tel user to tell me I?m wrong and they never spent the better part of a day installing some stupid hardware or new software.macs make you more productive because they just work?the value of that?Priceless?
