Mac vs PC

I’m possibly the most untechnical person you could find, but I am now happily the proud owner of a gleaming new MacBook. Without doubt, it’s a beautiful thing, and it makes me feel that I can do the impossible.

As someone who has always been PC, the changeover to Mac caused a little upset for a few days but it has been worth it. Big time. Life’s just easier with a Mac. Drag and drop, drag and drop, drag and drop – how good is that? And as someone who:

  • writes scripts;
  • draws storyboards;
  • needs to make animatics from time to time…
  • …I can do them all infinitely faster and better on a Mac. Plus the fact that it’s obviously an object of intense desire. Why oh why did I not make the change years ago? I could have been in Hollywood by now. Or Madison Ave at least.

      I came across this post on a whiskey search. Agree about Redbreast and Green Spot. Green Spot is better.
      I switched to Mac about a year ago. I’ve used PCs since they came out and have done extensive programming on them BUT they break your heart.

    Bald blogging bloke in Belfast boldly writes…

    These are some of the things that please me. Or annoy me. Or just plain happen to me. A lot of it's going to be about music, sport, marketing and family things. There'll be the odd sarcastic rant as well - I hope. It'll probably be written quite fast and be frequently daft or confusing. Or both. Spelling/typing may be up the left too. So if that's not your cup of tea there's not much point in wading through it all. Not entirely sure how all the technical bits work but I'm going to give it a go. If I do something terribly off-blog, just let me know.
