. | Macs For DesignLynnI was on the yearbook staff in high school. This is when
I was truly drawn in by the Mac world. At home I had a
Performa 6100, but it was
not until I discovered the many uses for Macs at school that
I saw the true power of the Macintosh. All the other students in the class would go home to
their hard to use Windows 3.1 machines, while I went home
and created fantastic graphic design pages (that won our
yearbook a national prize) and played games that had
fantastic color and sound. My computer could even run
Windows applications with SoftWindows. I had the power at my
finger tips, but I was once ridiculed over my love for Macs.
Now it has changed. I am now in college and majoring in graphic design. For a
gift upon entering college, I received a G3 tower computer.
I absolutely love it! It is so speedy on the web, and it
does wonderful graphic presentations for class. Just
yesterday in art class we were talking about computers, and
one man said that he really likes his Windows computer.
Suddenly there came this loud laughter from the corner of
the room -- even the teacher booed him. The tables have
turned, and I think it is time that everyone (including
software manufacturers), see the enormous capabilities and
adaptability that Macintoshes have! My First Macintosh- Hooked on Macs, Jay Patel,
