I waited in an apple line for the 3G launch and had to explain I the people in line for 2 hours why I didn't edit on Mac OS or Apple hardware and their minds went into socking disbelief attacking me that I was somehow editing wrong.

the worst part is when you have them logically shut down they just start parroting the Mac pc ads

"I'm a professional, and I use tools to get jobs done not feel good about Aqua"

"macs run office too"

"but final cut doesn't edit media natively and transcoding would make me have to stay extra hours for no creative process benefit"

"but macs are ready to use out of the box"

"in a professional setting you generally set up the computer a very specific way for production work so when the drives inevitably fail you can just have a spare drive with the image ready to go so you can swap and minimize downtime."

at the time "there are 2 certified Nvidia GPUs on the Mac Pro and so there's little choice between a card that isn't enough and some 4,000 quadro so you can't even spec the computer out to the work you want to do without way over speccing"

i waited in a queue for about an hour for an iphone 4S and a hot lady came up and interviewed me for some local radio station or something. it was in a phone shop in a real backwater town that i'd gone to because i looked up online where there were still white 32 gig ones available, so i felt kind of guilty that i just gave boring answers like "i'm queueing up because it's either that or wait months for them to come back in stock" and "i mainly just want it for the camera, it's a lot better than the one on the 3GS"

i don;t know if i ever got on the radio because i didn't catch the name of the station but i doubt it. my voice is awful and the things i say are worse

my MacBook Air fan doesn't always turn on. it gets so hot that my hand hurts if I touch the area above the keyboard. sometimes I worry, but then I remember the Mac v PC ads about how macs just work.

in the professional world you're not so much "using windows" as you are "using a fresh install of Windows which only has the video editing stuff installed and probably can't even connect to the wide internet"

the good versions of windows (XP and 7, usually the only ones pro rigs are supplied with) are super-stable on a proper workstation if you don't install anything else

I choose to use windows so I can go home at 5.

I choose to use windows at home so I dont have to hire an assistant editor, and dont have to spend 7 grand on something that can do UHD realtime.
