It seems to me that the majority of us computer nerds are into two things: productivity (word processing/spreadsheet, game programming, graphics development, audio/visual arts, ect ect) and playing video games.
Now, I think that Apple/Mac has the first of the two in the bag. In many photoshop, bryce, and illustrator tests I think that Apple/Mac has the edge. I also think this becasue there are so many professionals that use Macs.
I've also noticed that Apple doesn't quite seem to advertise themselfs as a gameing machine. I know they don't exactly consider themslevs a gaming company, but if Apple advertized themselfs as one what do you think the affects be? I'm definately not an advertising agent, but would slogans such as "Burn your CD's and Enemies" or "Work hard, play hard" sell more macs? Do you guys/gals think that more people (or, at least us computing geeks) would consider macs becasue of this?
Also, many of my Linux friends seem to make a hobby out of ordering a computer part by part and assembling it themselfs. I think I would like to do this and if Apple sold a G4 tower with only a power supply and let people build their own compter they would sell a ton!
Well enough of my ideas, what do other people think?
