you can go back as far as i recall to Mac 7500 in 1995 for desktop case layout which was easier to upgrade and had attention to details that were missing on PC's even as recently as 2000.
As graphic designer i have to say i totally agree with your statement. We writers make statements that macs are for creative types or macs are good or graphics (but nothing else) , is a nonsensical statement.
I use a mac for work, not because i am a creative professional ( i am regardless of what i use) or want them to think i am by my computer, ( i dont and its irrelevant because anyone who knows me, knows what i do, and by time they see me in office or at my studio, they will) but mainly Apple computers are 80% of the graphics industry, and they are more reliable. OS 9, OS X, whatever, i dont have to worry about an unresponsive IT dept to trouble shoot my machine, viruses, spyware crap or devices which plug and pray.
That apple caters to my tastes in Industrial Design and GUI's, typography, and even marketing is a plus for me and its because Apple knows its users are in creative industries and use this tool, not as pundits with no historical memory or context put forth that creative professionals use macs because of apples marketing and colored plastics.
and of course, with my luck, this will be modded down as troll or some other thing.

Your absolutely correct, especially now with leopard around corner, and Vista off on distance of 2007. And upgrade of windows which will force many to buy brand spanking new hardware to run an OS which is basically 10.4 at best.
Apple has a perfect storm here to get more hardware sales while once again leap frogging Windows on features yet to be announced.
there is absolutely no incentive for apple to ship an OS for Dell boxes.
you really think about this more than apple users do. get a life. its a tool.
a better tool that we have taken away from us in work places and schools to make room for the virus spyware ridden unwashed masses, who need to use Word.
so yeah mac users are outspoken dealing with that shit.
where was the justice dept when i was sneaking a peek at penthouse on the newsstand when i was 11?
this is absurd and a classic, and all too familiar example of Bush administration over reaching. They will always do this until they are bitch slapped down.
who cares what the proportion is? Last time i check adults were allowed to view adult content. It could be 99% and what fucking business is it of DOJ?
Unless someone is pushing it at children specifically, then they should then go after that person, which law has always allowed.
Allowing kids access to web is a choice. it shouldn't trump all freedom of expression to protect them.
for better or worse, no machine running OS X should be with less than 512 MB. that may be a deficiency on apples part for shipping it that way, but its way it is. Fair warning.
which makes me wonder if all these challenges to our privacy is ultimately meant to weaken Row vs wade as the linch pin on that was a woman's right to medical privacy. the POTUS is allowed to listen to out phone calls without a warrant or review, ignore laws and congress at his whim.
The justice dept. can search our searches, see what we read at library with out probable cause or warrant, can charge for conspiracy for simply discussing hypothetical crimes, why would a woman's body be any more protected and how can she expect any privacy at all in this world George Orwe....er Bush has made for us?
Bin Laden won when Bush sold out our liberty he claims to cherish, yet doesn't comprehend.
so i guess apple is going to stop making pro software too, where 20% of their revenue comes from high margin software sales? all those pro video people they have on over to buy G5 towers, with 30" monitors , with FCP, DVDSP, are all going to love working off iMacs. I know they are cause I am one of them.
And the print designers, yeah they are going to take it in the ass if it means they can dump thier expandable towers to get to use a mac mini! fuck yeah!
oh i dont know, maybe because no one is forcing you to buy from apple. get over it and buy from somewhere else. save your hate for something that matters.
"and how it may challenge OS X on every front." i think you mean catch up to in on very front. And your also forgetting by time they say they will ship it, Apple will be shipping Leopard.
"Apple can't survive with their profit margins." wtf are you talking about? Apple has survived on the same margins (about 25%) through Windows 95, 2000, NT, XP. Why wold Vista be any different, especially now that people are fed up with Spyware, and viruses, Apple's brand has never been healthier and diverse in its offerings, M$ brand has never been weaker or under as much threat from Sony, Google, Yahoo and Apple.
"the latest Star Wars was rendered on a bank of AMD processors."
Who cares? It probably was cut with FInal cut Pro. And ignorant person would think from your Post that ILM is a Windows shop only, which would be and erroneous position to take. Many digital studio use a variety of tools, including more and more OS X boxes.
King Kong is rendered on a bank of processors and linux, its being developed , edited on Apple OS X, Apple Final Cut Pro and Apple Shake. Apple makes the tools which get the job done. Apple was awarded a technical OScar for FCP for a reason, the film industry uses it.
"I must add a disclaimer, that I don't own a Mac yet" ah, no shit. i couldn't tell.
"-- still waiting until they are cheaper" $500 is too much? Wow.

Step 3: Start The Us concert. No profit!!
7.5 (shudder) that was the single worse OS release in all the years i have used macs since 1991.
Spindler was the worst CEO apple had.

So does this mean roaches are smart enough to avoid poisons and find food as a group?
actually that would solve the problem, as there is no confusing a soft drink and a music store. Kind of like Iraq and Al Qaeda..
After all, even a moron doing a handstand on a rocket powered shopping cart couldn't confuse the two.
chr1sb?
Seriously, is he 12 years old?
nevermind his analogy is fatally flawed and has perspective of i dunno, someone who wasn't born in until after 1980.

umm... can you explain the need for being such a kill joy?
stupid, stupid troll.
for good reason they ditched baby. If by faster, the system would crash if you farted into the wind, yes it was faster. C
certainly not more stable, and thus more productive.
If find not rebooting 3 times a day makes me faster at everything.
Mod this up.
for better or worse, no machine running OS X should be with less than 512 MB. that may be a deficiency on apples part for shipping it that way, but its way it is. Fair warning.
If you do graphics stuff, a gig minimum.
Now how are we to reduce the rest of the world into a "rag tag fleet" and hunt it down?
I sir demand to see Bill Gates National Guard records!

hi troll bait. your full of SHIT
You obviously haven't used my toliet.
your funny.

i mean your just hysterical.
oh i dont know, maybe because no one is forcing you to buy from apple.
get over it and buy from somewhere else. save your hate for something that matters.
Also, look at screenshots your precious Vista and compare it to OS X. M$ cant even design a window without copying Apple.
The whole tech industry has looked at vista thus far and said a collective, "meh"
Your smoking crack.
"and how it may challenge OS X on every front."
i think you mean catch up to in on very front.
