It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

...the success of Macs in Academic circles has anything to do with their pretentious image. It is always the image Apple has had (in my eyes).
Not necessarily a bad thing. just wondering.
Me, I'm not able to switch to Linux or Max (though it would be linux). One simple reason: I game on my pc.
(and no, I don't think consoles are satisfying enough to completely take over. They can supplement pc gaming. Though in all honesty all console games would work on my pc with good gamepads)
