Riiiiight... I believe that just as much as I believe a mac or an xbox is just as capable of running AutoCAD or any high-level CAD/CAM software as a modern PC.

If I need to model something critical like stress analysis on a primary mechanical linkage, joint, or weld, let alone realtime motion or deformation analysis, I am certainly NOT going to look for any apple machines for a solution.

This is why we Engineers always start grinning and smothering laughter when some macophile newbie asks when the five-figure (and up) high-end software we rely upon will be ported to the mac OS. As well ask when a version will be started upon to run on a PS2. *snicker*

“Well, aren’t you special”

Is it just only all about you, and how incredibly intelligent you are, compared to all of us clueless fools out here in fly-over land.

Are you trying to be the first to get voted off the island, for being a jerk?

Many of us made a very good living using Macs, and never had to have an expensive IT team to keep us up and running 24/7, and we managed to keep investors very happy as we were entrusted with more of their money than you ever dreamed of making.

My husband was an MIT graduate, and would never switch to a PC. But, he was an independent thinker, and ran his own profitable business, unlike most of you cubicle drones.

Sorry if I am being harsh. It is late, and I miss him so much. And you Mac haters are so blind to the bigger picture.

A computer is just a tool one uses to get a specific job accomplished. Your job requires one type of tool - but your expertise in that specific use doesn’t qualify you as any kind of expert in what works in endeavors outside of your narrow specialty.

In short, stuff it, or risk being tossed off the island, because you offer nothing but negativity, caused by your lack of vision. You seem only able to feel the tail of the elephant, and have missed the whole of the animal.

Oh? I guess scientist, engineers, and programers will never be using the toy Apple Mac computers, will they, Utilizer? According to you the Mac's just aren't up to it. . . They ain't capable. After all. It ain't rocket science. . . Right?

NASA Engineers and Space Scientists on the morning of Curiosity's landing on Mars.

Hey! Utilizer, what ARE all those notebooks those engineers and scientists are using at NASA's AMES SPACE CENTER? I guess they couldn't be MacBook Pros. Nah.

You said they aren't capable!

Your are aware that Apple Mac OSX is certified POSIX compatible, TradeMarked UNIX, are you not? Further, you should be aware that several PC Magazines have rated the best WINDOWS PC notebook is an Apple MacBook Pro. . . Oh, you aren't. That's even running in a sandbox inside OSX. . . . And are you aware there are people happily running CATIA on Apple Macs? Older versions run in UNIX. So much for your snickering.
