Exploring the Mac demographics myth

[Mousse]

1. "How dare you ask!" (I love that joke)
2. Bean counter (you gotta love spreadsheets)
3. Internet, Photoshop & games
4. No malware and it also does Windows
5. because I fit the PC user stereotype:

old, geeky, spreadsheet-loving business types who take matters more seriously.

 

[bootedbear]

1. 53
2. Software architect and author
3. Web application development, book authoring, video editing.
4. I want to get things done, not screw around keeping the OS running.
5. Geek, mature (almost senior), not arty-farty

 

[chrono1081]

1. Age - 28
2. Line of work - IT
3. Videogame programming, Digital Painting, Photography
4. It works without any issues and comes with the stuff I need standard (built in raid support, differential backup, built in ISO support etc). No need to install a ton of crap.
5. Most IT people are "windows only", but not me. I don't like to come home and deal with the same windows crap I do at work each day.

 

[Stella]

1. >28

5. I don't take SJ words as Gospel / Like choice / Geek

Might as well.

1) 32
2) Accounts recovery/debt collections/credit management. Pursuing Master's degree (hopefully PhD track on of these days!) part-time in History.
3) Web, photo/image processing, documents.
4) I use a Mac with OS X because it's the cream of the crop, plus I grew up using Macs.
5) I guess I fit most of the Apple stereotype that's been expounded in studies over recent years. Not sure about the "artsy" part though, whatever that means. I have refined tastes, and Macs - from the hardware design right down to the interface - fit them. Simple as that.
