re: #130 ObserverArt

Said it here before. Been using Windows since 1991 for graphics.

Sure there were many issues to face back then. Mostly due to the Mac domination and the thinking surrounding younger graphics artist that were raised with them in schools during the 80s.

Once I knew what the differences were and how to get around them, that all changed. Since the Pentium series came around Mid 90s that whole thing started to go away. Now, both platforms can be productive.

I don’t have a problem with Macs. I can use them too. But, I do question some of the thinking that surrounds them. I had to coin my own term “Macitude” to help laugh of all the comments I had to take being a Windoze user back then.

To me it is like two artist fighting over whether they use Grumbacher or Windsor & Newton artist brushes. All I care about is finished product and the art.

Now that I think of it, I do remember students back at art school fighting over brands. Some of them just couldn’t paint!

Um, really? You have no idea how much of a ‘get a real computer’ bullshit I faced from the Windows people back in the day.

They reminded me of hot rodeos. If you weren’t willing to open the hood and play with the hardware you weren’t a real computer person. But Apple products are and always have been “for the rest of us.”
