hmmm, we've got 100+ Macs at work and NONE of them are running X. The IT manager has refused to buy any new Macs since X was released, only buying second hand ones as and when necessary. He even thinks that X is a second rate OS (tho he's never had any hand's on experience of it even though I offered to bring my home Mac in) and all of a sudden Win 2k is the bees knees. Admin ppl, accountants, telesales etc are getting nice new P4 1.6 Sony Viao or Dell boxes, a bit of a sickener when the fastest Mac is a 466 (mine). Apparently PCs are far more cost effective and the rest of the print industry is using them, which is news to me as us designers need to stay on Macs for total compatability with print bureaux. Now we also have quite a number of 8100 series towers running OS7 and OS8, ie machines being used for 8 or 9 hours a day that are 10 years old, I will be interested to see how many of these Sonys and Dells are working as fine as the day they were bought in 10 years time. Mind you, this is an IT manager that has been telling us for 2 years that InDesign is faster and easier to use than Quark, and that Satellite Broadband is the dogs bollocks, and that a 256K leased line is more cost effective than a 2mbit ADSL line...

Anyways, I digress here... OS9 is necessary because of the total lack of print (and I mean output through rips to film etc) and scanner drivers for X, and no Quark for X. And none of the print bureaux I deal with use X either. The blame for this doesn't lie soley at Apple's feet, ppl like Agfa, Umax, Epson etc could and should be doing more. Apple's pricing doesn't help tho, they're about 25% too dear...

What part of the country are you in? The whole reason I've HAD to work with Macs over the years is because everyone in the print industry in Texas uses Macs...so everything I do for a client has to be in a pc format for the client and then an .eps or similair format for the printer...luckily most people have discovered .pdf (thanks to OSX I guess), which makes the entire process alot easier for me...

Nice desktops everyone. Now, anyone have a second hand Mac they want to send a die hard PC user? ;)

Deadzombie - I'm in the UK :)

I use screen res pdfs for proofs (to client) because of small file sizes over email and just about everyone has acrobat reader. Been like that for a year or so now. Quark's my main dog for everything (still using 3.3, lol) with artworking/pictures in Photoshop/Illustrator/Freehand.

Heh, that last post of mine was a bit of a rant after reading through it again, lol >:E

That's a combination of all sorts of stuff going on. Objectbar, windowblinds, OS X icons, Object dock...

Neyo is easily the best at creating mac-alike desktops.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
