Don’t believe the hype

Posted by Sharleen Mckinnon March 27th, 2007

Disclosure: I am a PC user and I don’t believe the hype.   Mac hype that is. So you’d have to chuckle that my first ever blog post is about the good ole’ Mac.  

I am married to a Mac man and surrounded by Mac people at Marker.  Most of my friends are Mac users. Am I a dying PC trend? When will I get the hype..I guess when everything I’ve ever learnt on PC transfers over to Mac. Maybe when they narrow down all those weird shortkey things and you can take a simple screen shot with out needing 5 fingers. Or just maybe when I see the light.

Anyway I read recently in Urbis mag that some Mac mad person has designed a custom made Mac desk called Milk.  Does Mac obsession go this far? Are PC users too uncool to buy this?

I couldn’t really see much to it other than fish tank holder which would suit our place but maybe fish to water ratio space would be a bit tight on this one and fish stare could become an occupational health & safety issue.

No published price on this as yet so another Mac secret club item to add to your wish list.  Perhaps it’s best use is for the ever busy team here at Marker to relax on, however a few design faults based on demo image.  Funny how he looks like the ever typical designer/Mac market lover.

    I have to admit that i love my Mac and plan on sticking with them if I can. That said, saying that a Mac is better than PC is like saying a hammer is better than a screwdriver - it all comes down to what you need it for!

    ps. Nice post. Welcome to blogworld.

    pps. Where’s the porn references? It’s my last day Friday - who’s going to take on the mantle?

    Nothing says I am a designer like a nice white table (Although they are very cool Dane!)
