then you're doing things the hard way and missing out on all sorts of
functionality that's not possible any other way.

let me guess. you use linux. linux users *love* to do things in the
most convoluted way possible and make excuses that their way is the
best because there is no other option due to the sheer lack of quality
software. they *have* to do things manually.

Nospam never makes inflammatory comments about other peoples operating
systems

You noticing, Duck? Is it Windows or Linux users who start all the
arguments? The bashing?

I recognize the veiled sarcasm of sid's comment.

Let's take this thread for example. The OP was Eric, a non-Mac user,
who frequently regurgitates articles from "The Register". One wonders
why.
His motives might be altruistic and intended to benefit to the Mac
users here, and one hopes that is so. However, this has happened too
many times to believe that it is anything less than a provocative poke
at Apple, perhaps even a "bash", knowing full well that at least nospam
will bite.

You are in the wrong thread. The OP was Stephen G. Giannoni.

I guess that is what happens when threads drift into one big similar
arguement. I was lost in the fog of war, still running with the "Mac
users - be aware" thread which you authored, and which is still burning,
filling the room with smoke.

A close look at my verbiage would have led one to think that was the
thread I believed I was lost in.

I realised that. You are also wsrong if you think I was trying any
form of bashing. Go back to the original thread and I will explain
why.

OK! That much is straightened out.

For my faulty flame war navigation I appologise.
For my position on the issue you raised in the "Mac users - be aware"
thread I do not. For that I believe all I have said is valid. I am just
a little confused as to the reasons you as a non-OSX user keep raising
Apple/OSX issues mined from "The Register". I can only hope that your
motives are less sinister that I might have painted them.

They certainly are.

OK!

Perhaps you are searching for reasons to justify staying on the dark side.

If I was as sensitive as some here seem to be I could start getting
all bitter and twisted about your value-loaded reference to the 'dark
side' but I will ignore that aspect of your article.

There was an element of tongue-in-cheek with that remark.

For a while I thought I was going to replace my computer with a Mac
Pro but I recently had a look and found their capabilities and price
had soared beyond both my needs and means. I intend to have look to
see what I can build from commercially available parts and that
inevitably means staying with Windows. I don't much like the idea but
Mac doesn't appear to be feasible.

A Mac Pro can be overkill for all but those involved with industrial
scale video and audio production. Nice to own, and to have some sort of
bragging rights with, but not necessary. I certainly couldn't justify
buying one configured the way I would choose.

Current iMacs can be configured to meet all that folks such as us can
throw at them. That includes supporting additional displays.

I should have a look at them but right now I've got two perfectly good
matched (non 5k) screens and I'm not sure I want to lay out for two
new 5Ks.

look at a retina imac.

I'm not sure that I want 5K

go look at one before you say that. use it for awhile. bring your
favourite photos.

for photography, it's *really* good.

and I want a matching screen.

do you really need two retina displays? sure, it would be nice, but
it's not really needed.

as of right now, that's not possible with 5k because the bandwidth is
too high for an external display. that will eventually change, likely
within a year if not sooner.

there are also rumours of a smaller retina imac, in which case it might
be possible to add a similar size retina display. that is expected very
soon.

also consider a mac mini + two displays of your choosing. don't
discount the mini. it's a rather powerful little box.

I've seen one/done that.

I want two matching displays: it's my opinion they are needed. Whether
or not they need be Retina is another question.

I've looked at it: unless they have recently upgradd it, it's not
powerful enough.

Doesn't answer the screen question. Anyway, see my other post on this

My experience is that you get more from your hardware with OSX than
Windows. But that's subjective and I have not benchmarked it.

What specifications are your current computer and what performance are you
currently lacking in? You can get a Mac mini with a 3Ghz i7, and I have a hard
time thinking that wouldn't be enough for you.

In fact, most performance boost you can get is from disk I/O really, and the Mac
min can be ordered with a 1TB SSD disk. A 3Ghz i7 with 8GB of memory and 1TB
fusion drive (both disk and SSD) comes in at $1,199.

You would keep your current screens, of course.

Not powerful enough?

My current Mac is a Mid 2010 3.6GHz Core i5, with 16 GB DDR3 RAM,
running OSX 10.10. Along with PS CC & LR I am running several other
apps without issue.

One of these days I will upgrade my hardware, but for now I don't need to.

What other than photo editing and general stuff (internet, email,
usenet, etc.) are you actually using your computer for?

what do you want to do?

don't go by specs alone. there's a lot more that goes into the mix.

keep in mind that macs now use pci flash which is *much* faster than
what you'll find on a typical pc and since most stuff is i/o bound,
you'll see huge performance gains.
