[QUOTE="lil, post: 211106"] Well Jobs was right when he met those Amiga chappies or was it Commodore in saying he didn't like it because "it was too much hardware". Of course we are talking about a chap who baulks at a cooling fan and was passionate about the 5.25" floppy drive ;) I did have an Amiga and some desktop publishing app for it, plus some word processor, but the disk swaps... The DTP package was fairly OK, but I seem to recall that the layout was always distorted because the Amiga had odd pixels, not square ones. That's when I got the IIsi and QXP 3 on it. I never owned an ST. That said, I always preferred the Mac over the Amiga, something about the kooky Chicago system font and that multicoloured Apple in the top left did it for me. I am a girl of simple pleasures ;) Anyway, I'm not going to add fuel to a Windows pyre, considering that Windows has its applications, and in all honesty—I haven't sat at a truly modern desktop PC for some time, though I do occassionally use a P4 2.8GHz, but it is crippled with only have 256MB RAM—so I can't offer genuine comparisons otherwise I'd have to sit myself at Tiger on a 256MB machine, and we all know that would suck big time—sort of like those dreams where you are running away from something so scary but you are running so **** slow. I remember Photoshop 6 starting quicker on a Pentium III with 1GB RAM—but then I got the RAID setup for my Macintosh—and well, it holds its own, I suppose the workflow paradigm comes to mind and for some reason for my way of working, the Macintosh fits into that way of working perfectly—but it is a personal thing.
