what industries do you guys utilize your mac for? media, programming, etc etc... or do you guys have a mac for your own leisure? anything, just post it here. it be cool to see the broad outlook on mac users
Web Design, Graphic Design, Digital Services (document creation - postcards, business cards, flyers, etc.), Internet, leisure....really about everything I do. Even makes a nice radio w/iTunes.
My uses really vary. I do like to play with audio and video editing, as well as graphics stuff. All that it stirctly amateur crap for myself. Otherwise, it is now my everyday machine at home, and I do treat it as a Unix box. I always have a terminal open.
Graphic Design, Web Design, Multimedia, Video Editing, Record keeping, Number Crunching, Web Surfing, Research, Audio Recording, and of course, the occassional game of Oni or ST:Voyager Elite Force...
Web Design, Photography, maintaining a video library, maintaining a music library, java programming, email, internet, playing WarCraft III, playing with that megaseg DJ software, showing off ^_^.
I'm a media student. right now I'm getting familiar with Photoshop(been getting familiar with it since 5.0, but now I can do something with it) and I'm planning to learn GoLive or DreamWeaver. But I usually just use the ac for amusement. I play games, I listen to music, I surf the web and I chat...I just find that easier to do on a Mac than on a PC.. *proud to own a Mac*
I Use Digital Performer with a 2408 Audio interface
and a tascam digital mixer.
All on a G4 400 APG

There average stuff a Mac is meant to be used for. iMovie, iPhoto, email, surfing the net, playing the occassional game and plowing through TONS of MS Office files for school work. Oh yeah, and listening to MP3's and burning CD's!
Or even sitting next to the computer for hours without saying a bad word at it or cursing in general!
Looking at it for tens of minutes just to realize that it is a computer and not some kind work of art!
Petting & kissing it when my dog is not in the same room...
And when it is time to go to work I hate myself for working as a PC tech person but then I realize that I can get my iBook (soon a TiBook too ) with me at work or even that I am DAMN lucky to eat other apples at work too! In general I am DAMN lucky for having a farm full of apples in my work and life too!
After all one apple each and every day makes the doctor go away!!!
