Sticky, In the commercial design and print business mac's are/were the only way to go. Same was true for photography and most video. Those that aren't into computers and don't give a fuck about surfing, games, etc but use our computers as a tool to get our specific work niche completed have always found mac's the easiest and most trouble free.
Some long term mac users like myself ended up using them by default. The programs we needed just worked better in mac's. Some programs came as a factory option. Apple CARED about compatibility for it's professional users. It had to, that was it's 2% market share niche.
My first big buck setup was IBM, Avid and Photoshop ... bundled in a "Pro" package. Nothing fucking worked, everyone blamed everyone. Everything was eventually returned.
Most GFY members are very computer/tech savvy. Except for a few Apple/geeks most of us view our computers as a tool to get to our job done and have no interest in the machine it's self. Pc's have improved quite a bit, so what? Mac's are still chugging along working well for those that have always had to use them.
