Yes, And More creative...

I've got a feeling that i've seen a similar article on somewhere like NY Times website.

Anyway I reckon Mac users have more open mind than peecee users, most peecee users are too narrow minded, like all my friends. Gotta try new stuff to find out if its actually good or not, just like food

what i don't get is why they are so rude to us!
when i hear that someone has a PC i do't say "HA! PC's Suck!" i think it's Bill Gates making his users think mac sucks some how (maybe brainwashing)

Yep, we are smarter. In fact so smart that we do not bother to be rude. Why waste the time, when we are busy being creative

How does using someone else's idea of how something should work make me more creative?

Technology is someone else's idea of how the world should work. Computer software, no matter how "powerful" or "rich with features" is a cumulative idea, i.e. it is only as smart as those who programmed it. When I use Photoshop or any other piece of software, I am limited by the features available to me--this fact in itself does not make me more creative, in fact, if anything, it makes me LESS creative.

Using a computer as a means to an end makes one a puppet and the navi the master. For example, you will learn more learning how to paint on an actual canvas than learning on software that "simulates" the real-world experience. When a computer is used to aid in techniques that would otherwise take long periods of time, i.e. non-linear editing vs. flatbed editing, it is a great tool. But that's all it should ever be--a tool.

As far as Mac users being smarter... if Mac users are so smart, why do they have to use a computer that's oversimplified?

That's VERY simple: Because the HARDEST thing in this life or the next one, is to make ALL things and EVERYTHING easier for people...

But this could be very hard for you to get it: You are a troll after all and not human!

What's the point of life if all things and EVERYTHING is easier for everybody... not much challenge in that, is there? Are you saying that we're striving to build a complacent society that becomes fat and lazy?

"If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other..."
