Casa Robino

Just try a Mac and you'll feel this all for yourself exactly as I did when I upgraded in 2000. If you insist, the newest Apple computers run Windows, too! WHY I USE MAC Do More Faster I get more done in less time with no aggravation. My brain doesn't hurt after working on it for hours. It just works. No backtalk, no stupid popup boxes in meaningless technical gibberish, no viruses, no slow operation, no spy ware, no crashes, no complex installations, no reloading operating systems, no taking 5 minutes just to turn off, no nothing except getting stuff done. I do my entire website, read hundreds of emails, do all my Photoshop CS2 work and catalog hundreds of images every day, all on a two-year-old 12" Apple iBook, the lowest performance computer and cheapest laptop they make! This little 12" laptop is the computer I use all day, every day, for everything! I used to use a desktop (which will be for sale), but the laptop worked so well I never bothered to use the desktop. While I'm working away I pity my wife struggling with her large company's Windows machine and all its problems. Before I got my first Mac in 2000 I was afraid that Mac users might just be a bunch of nerds who sat around telling themselves how great their computers were. Just like with switching between Nikon and Canon, I feared Macs might have their own set of unique problems that the Mac whim ps chose to ignore. Nope, Macs really just work great without all the problems. Talk to we Mac users and we talk about what we've made, like this website, with our machines. We don't talk about the machines. Talk to Windows users and you'll just hear about their ratty hardware. Listen to any computer talk show and it's pitiful: all the callers have issues with Windows and can't even get their computers running. When Mac people talk shop it's about neat tricks discovered in Photoshop or whatever that lets us get even more work done. Making an automotive analogy, Windows users have enough trouble just getting their cars started, much less getting them out of the garage, while Mac users are out winning races. I beat on my little iBook 10 hours a day, every day. It turns on instantly as soon as I open the cover. There is no waiting a few seconds to wake up as Windows laptops. Windows users have a heck of a time just trying to keep their machines running long enough to check email and surf the internet. These are trivial on Mac and allow us the time to do photography, edit movies and make website's. Movies? Not just home video and prime-time network TV shows; did I mention many Hollywood theatrical releases are edited on Mac, too? Many people use Apple's Final Cut Pro, while more advanced folks use Avid or other nonlinear tools controlled by a Mac.
