And what do you use your mac for?



Myself, I am a photo student, so my new ibook will be used mostly in conjunction with PhotoShop. I am a Mac neophite but am loving my new ibook.



Are most people here on AI music, photo or computer people???

    I use my old 68K Mac to scare Pcee users with.....



    I painted it black with "Flying - Tiger " teeth on its sides looks real mean...

    Every bit of my mac is useful...like.... I swing the mouse around my head to knock giant flying cockroaches into a pot.

    They make a good garnish for the rats I've stunned with my key-Board..



    Man food like that should never be passed up.....!





    Oh....& Other than that, I play Bugdom..& do Photo stuff.....

    Graphic artist, print-based. Illustration and page-layout mostly. I love Illustrator and InDesign! Some freelance work too, mostly logo design OR redrafting an existing logo into a usable, versatile digital format...in other words, people contact me to take a piece-of-shit scan of a FAX of a Xerox of a logo done 18 years ago by the boss's nephew - using a broken crayon, no less - and recreate it in Illustrator and give them back something modern, usable and suitable for several functions (signage, web, vinyl lettering, print usage, etc.). Kind of a cool little niche I've stumbled into where I get paid to play in Illustrator.







    And I do some side work involving some travel for a company in Langley, VA. But I'm not supposed to talk about it too much.

    InDesign?! *shudder*



    Actually, I can 't say much. I work on books and everyone wants them done in Word so they can post them on the Web. "Here, you can do this fancy design in Word?"--"Sure, but I'll charge you twice as much as I would if I was working in Quark!"

    I used Quark for eight years and I've simply come to embrace InDesign during the past 12-16 months. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I mostly spend my time in Illustrator and Photoshop and InDesign just feels like a nice, comfortable extension of them.



    A lot of it has to do with economics. I can afford InDesign and its upgrades.







    Still more has to do with the fact that it's a REALLY sweet program and I really, really like it.







    Was your "shudder" a fear thing or a outright dislike thing? If it's dislike, don't knock it 'til you try it. I made the switch over the course of a couple of months and, at this point, you couldn't pay me to go back to QuarkXPress.



    For all the tea in China, as they say.



    For me, InDesign is actually a pleasure to use. Makes my work SO much easier and I've never - knock on wood - had any problems with it, both on the creating end AND the outputting/final piece.

    Actually, I have used it--on just one project. Part of it, I'm sure, is that I know how things work in Quark and InDesign was unfamiliar. Add to that, I was using 1.0 and it kept locking up/crashing. The whole reason I even worked in it was that I had a client with a project in PageMaker for Windows, which nobody had, and InDesign was the "smoothest" transition. I've heard InDesign has gotten better, but I really am doing way too much work in Word . Quark's customer service . . . well, let's just that's a contradiction in terms. I love the program but "hate" the company.

    My answer? Everything



    Okay, but seriously? I do email, porn archiving, MP3 hording, Chess, web browsing, pre-release movie watching, typing, photoshop jollies, quark evils, and the occasional Sims, Diablo 2 or Aliens vs. Predator. I do other stuff but can't remember it now.



    EDIT: Okay, I look up phone numbers, show times, translations etc with Watson/Sherlock and also make iMovies of my family. I also Hotline.

    What's your problem?

    Sheep can be pretty cute after a few snorts & nights in the sack by yourself.

    Even the tough ones can be nice if you give them roses and such!
