I use PC's at work because the software I must have is not ported to the Mac OS. I can't imagine it would be all that difficult: The software was originally run on mainframes and minis and Suns and SG's, etc. But in reality, the market for Mac users of high end GIS and parametric image analysis and expert systems image analysis is not going to be a a big Mac demand. Most Mac users are artsy-fartsy graphics, not analytical graphics. Yeah, don't beat me up: I know there is medical imaging software and some pretty good ones like ImageJ (now for PC's too!). But I'm in the remote sensing world. I need geography AND image analysis. Mac ain't there.

But for home use, I'm a Mac only guy. I taught my kids to use Macs back when I had a MacPlus. They had it mastered in a few minutes. If it's intuitive to a child, it's a winner.

I HATE Microsoft Word. (as I rant)

It has so many bells an whistles I can't find the steering wheel. I wish you could build it in modules so I could have a stripped-down text editor with some formatting capability. I need a little more power than a text editor. I don't need freaking footnoting, indexing, captioning, graphics, kerning, etc. If I do need that crap, let me add it when I want it and kill it when done. I want simple.
