Re: [AE] iMac and AE
Glenn, that’s purely your subjective opinion.
I really don’t get this fascination with the operating system. How much time are you chaps spending “outside” of the programs you are using to earn money?
I have a mixture of systems running Windows 7 & OSX, not because I prefer either of them but because certain software either runs better or doesn’t run at all under a certain OS. Horses for courses.
If you really have to compare systems then do it properly:
A home-build PC should be compared to a home-build Hackintosh. Here the prices are identical because the hardware is identical. Teddys’ 3930K i7 could just as easily run OSX.
A MacPro should be compared to a PC workstation from a “brand name” such as Dell/HP/Boxx etc. Here the Mac is (or was – who knows what the next MP will bring!) cheaper but has fewer video options, less RAM slots etc.

My point is that you can’t compare “PC” vs. a “Mac”. Mac is a specific brand by a single company. “PC” refers to a broad huge spectrum of companies. In fact a “Mac” is a PC that runs OSX. Same CPU, RAM, motherboard etc. Just a bit of firmware in the EFI boot.
You can PCs with better support, warranty and build quality than a Mac, but it will cost the same or more than a Mac. There are ultra-high premium PCs with custom paint jobs, hand built components and white glove service, for a price.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
