...Macs because they offer more graphic art software than it's Windows counterpart.

This hasn't been true since the late 90's.  Designers just tend to buy Macs because they're pretty, "easy" to use, and it's trendy for designers to own a Mac.

As a designer myself, I feel that I'm allowed to criticize my brethren for their sheep-likeness.

The thing is, I actually went to a psychologist about a month ago, and that's how I found out I have Asperger's. I already knew I had Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum and I've known that since I was 7. Which is when I had 3 seizures within  2 months of each other, and then I was put on seizure pills (couldn't swallow back then, and I had to put the pill in peanut butter), then seizure liquid, but then a was told to take half my liquid dosage when I was about 12; and then I'd be done and not have seizures anymore. It's been 12 years since had those 3 seizures and 7 years since I stopped taking the medication.
Wow, I feel for you. I've heard of Asperger's, but I don't know the details. I'm an epileptic myself, so I take medication to control my seizures as well.

Hey, if it works for you, then that's all that matters.

I've seriously contemplated buying a dead G4 and gutting it only to put PC guts inside (which is somewhat amusingly absurd considering that's already what's in there).

They sure are pretty, but I refuse to pay $X,XXX for a PC that I can build for $XXX.  I get why people buy them.  Just not for me ;)


Ace, no worries man.  Like I've said before, I won't hold it against you.  I've been a dick before, and I'll be one again.  The trick is knowing when to stop ;)  I also have significant health issues and was also picked on quite a bit as a child.  I know the feeling.  The best part about the web is that you're only know for what you type, not for what you look like or sound like.  It can be a great place for the physically disabled for that very reason.  I hope you can enjoy your time here.  As stated before by others, these are a good bunch and we're a tight crowd.  WE joke with each other a lot, and will do so with you once you've established a rapport with some of us.

 Had I known people wanted those things I wouldn't have trashed the one my boss gave me 2 years ago. I thought it was neat and was trying to figure out if i could make something out of it, but it just sat and took up space until i disposed of it.
