I’m not buyin’ it.
I started working in TV in the 70s and had to use very primitive computer language within the hardware just to insert the on-air talent’s name under his chin!
We switched to Macs as soon as they came out, but it was a VERY steep learning curve for all of us. Fortunately, I was promoted out of the editing ‘bull pen’ to field producer and left the Mac issues behind.
Picked up a personal Windows station as a lark later on and was surprised to see so many similarities.(I’m sure Gates stole the GUI) :)
As an independent producer in 1995 I had a project that forced me to purchase a whiz-bang Mac 9500 with every known video application. What a nightmare!
I tried to keep the machine alive long enough to get OS9 installed... then came the end. OSX would not work on my $7000 9500!
I learned my lesson well.
NO MORE MAC for me!
Your 9500 was five years old when OS X was released in 2001. Apple supported its OS9 for another five years after OSX was released. Exactly how many 5 year old PCs would run Vista when it was released?
