Some of you might get a kick out of this. Decided to make use of the empty mac case i had kicking around. It looks alot smaller than it really is, and doesn't have much less space on the inside than the enclosure that my gecko was already it, it's just a bit awkward of a shape.

Found another of my mac hating photoshops!!! :D
That's pretty neat Hazel. I saw a fish tank once that someone had made from a computer case. It's amazing the things that boredom can create ! :D

uh, those pictures aren't working for me. I don't see any pics there.
And when I get a chance I'm gonna make it so that the power switch for the light is the power switch on the front of the computer.
Hrmmm, maybe I'll figure out a way to make it make that horrible BONG noise that macs like to make.

What a clever lady you are!

Surprising, considering you're a graphic designer.
I switched from PC to Mac when I took my designer training, and haven't looked back. I trained on a Mac, the jobs I've worked in have used Mac, and I understand that the design industry is still predominantly Mac-based.

I use both. There's very little difference in the software anyways. Photoshop is photoshop, illustrator is illustrator, and quark is quark.
Sometimes the shortcut commands gum me up if I'm hungover and can't remember which system I'm on.
I just think Macs are pretentious. Probably all their intentionally arty advertising... I'll stick to my PC at home and work on client's Macs on site. I don't have to like them...

No, of course you don't have to like them. I'm curious, though, how did you train in graphic design? I know that the degree programs here still train on Mac (my training was a number of years ago :-) And most designers I personally know have a preference for Mac. Myself, I find the Mac asthetic to be much more attractive...the same goes for their advertising. :D I can do the same work on a PC, but I really prefer not to.

:rolleyes: :OT: I know, I know hijacking... I want a Mac fishtank to put near my PC.
Worked and was taught on Macs at school throughout college.
For most homework projects I worked on a PC, I was a commuter and driving back and forth while working full time and going to class full time was not practical.
Graduated and promptly bought a top of the line PC. Macs may have run the art world, but PCs ran everything else (though not as much as they used to admittedly), and I never had any problems since there are so many compatible file formats (PDF, TIFF, JPG, etc. ad nauseum).
And so I learned both...
Hope I don't need to learn linux next...
