Re: [Digital BW] smaller Mac market

2004-08-15 by Tyler Boley

These complaints about platform availability of various apps are
ridiculous and uninformed. The reason many graphics apps are either
Mac only or Mac first have to do with the fact that graphics
professionals have historically been largely on Macs. The fact that
more general consumer use apps are PC only or Mac later has to do with
the PCs dominance amongst the rest of the computer user base.
While there are some specialized apps more suited to one platform or
the other, these things occur primarily because of economics (where
the users are) not necessarily that one is "better" than the other.
That debate is left to people with too much list time on their hands.
