My Mac Pro is a work of art. From the packaging... to the design of the actual computer. Even though I've never touched a Mac before, I upgraded the RAM from 2GB to 16GB and added two more 1TB hard drives and it took less than 5 minutes. No wires, no errors, no stress...no shit. I turned the computer on and it instantly found all my RAM and my hard drives. I formatted the drives and they both show up on the desktop ready to rock.
When Mac designed this computer, they had people like me in mind. People who would rather spend their time creating things...rather than trying to figure out why things arn't working right. I know that the Mac is not trouble free, but my experience so far is that Mac makes it easy to get things done.
Next....I'm about to install the Final Cut Pro 2 Suite  |
Dean, I am happy you see the philosophy difference between Apple and PC Makers and Windows. I have been trying to get people to understand its not about the tech specs, the cost, etc. Its about its easy and smarter so you can just work/create. On windows you have to babysit your computer because of all the issues, on OSX you don't. Dean I am sure you will find that the software is much more intuitive and elegant. I edit using FCS Studio 2 and you will be amazed just how nicely all the apps integrate and work well together.
Congrats and welcome to the Mac community. If you need some "must have" software recommendations, just hit me up.
