Titolo: Macintosh Professionals (Jobs and Resumes)

This is being posted to several related news groups,  I hope it
doesn't offend, however we thought it would be of interest to all Mac
users.
We have just put up a new website.  It offers posting space for
Professional Macintosh Resumes and Companies wishing to list Macintosh
Job openings.
Mac Professional is a volunteer effort to help Macintosh Professionals
find suitable job opportunities and to provide companies looking for
Macintosh personnel a source of quality people. In addition we hope to
be featuring a limited amount of product information, from companies and
individuals wishing to advertise.

 vastly different on Macs than they are on Windows....
Vastly different?  Hardly the case.

 Vastly different?  Hardly the case.
Yes, it *IS* vastly different.  Copying files in any version of Windows
to a backup system (zip, syquest, et al.,--even floppy for that
matter--is not a matter of drag and drop like it is on the Mac.  And
aliases ("shortcuts" on Windows systems) don't work the same nor are
they created the same as on Macs.  That's only but two examples.
There's lots more.  
Not to mention that on Windows, it is *still* not possible to double
click on a drive JUST to see what's there.  Why?  Because the drive
doesn't sit directly on the desktop like it does on a Mac.  In Windows
'98 you had to click on "My Computer" and go from there to select the
drive, etc. etc.  In Windows 3.1 you had to open a file hierarchy
utility called "File Manager" JUST to get a directory list.  
And not to get farther off topic, but making disc images of anything
from a floppy to a Zip drive to a Syquest drive cartridge on a Mac is
*extremely* simple with Apple's Disk Copy utility or the Shrinkwrap
program.  So far I haven't been able to accomplish the exact same task
on a Windows computer.

Really? Perhaps you should look at some of the Norton utilities.

To copy a floppy disk" right click on the drive icon on the desktop,
choose "copy disk" from menu. True, you can not do this with a Zip
disk, you need to use Iomega's copy utility, which also resides on my
desktop. Very simple.
I NEVER get involved in Mac/PC debates, mostly for the simple reason
that many Mac users are quite ignorant of the capabilities of a modern
PC, even those who state they know both. As demonstrated by this
thread. With these comments I'm gone, never to return, to this thread,
anyway.
Happy formatting, whatever you use! Don't get too hung up on your
equipment.

 a MS Office toolbar) and there's your root directory - painfully simple.
1.  I no longer have a desire to keep up with MS technology since I
don't approve of the company's business tactics or practices, so no,
I've only heard of and seen (and won't use) Internet Explorer, not
Windows Explorer.  Although I used to have to do my work on them full
time, I now do as little as possible on the Windows computers in our
office because they are the most unstable computers we have, and we had
to remove/uninstall Windows '98 from them a while back due to said
instability and much incompatibility with recognizing such common items
like HP scanners, etc.  Since we are back functioning with Windows 3.1
on those computers, at least we can use the scanners properly now.
2.  My original point was that common computer maintenance that is done
from the desktop such as file manipulation of ANY kind is much easier
done on the Macintosh, period--and always has been.  From all *my*
experience, that point still stands.

From *my* experience it doesn't. Give me Windows any day. I work with
Macs and PCs, and prefer the flexibility of the PC over the Mac.

Well, not anymore.  This is true for a Win 3.x machine, but there aren't many people whose
primary platform is a PC running Win3.x.  Take some time to learn a LITTLE bit about
Win95; it will definitely make you more flexible in the future.  I mean this from a
business standpoint, not argumentative.
Dwayne

let alone larger media.
Ah, Medianut, you are doing it all wrong. You have to
prewind the tertiaty sprocket for the drag and drop and
engine to work. It's not really a problem, you just have to
make sure the drive belt is in place and give it four winds.
The Macintosh uses a flywheel mechanism, which probably
explains why you are unfamiliar with Windows drag and drop.

 > experience, that point still stands.
Has been yes, now, no.  Its so amazingly the same its not funny.  And before you say copycat,
keep in mind that if Apple, having purchased or having gottent he rights to the entire
windowing principle from Xerox, had actually succeeded in having exclusive domain over the GUI
then Windows, IRIX, Solaris, Linux and all, meaning the competition, wouldn't have much to
stand on would they.  What's that you said about not caring for Microsoft's business tactics?
You do realize that Apple and Microsoft work together at present don't you?  Heard of the
Think Very Different Tour?

Have you not heard of Windows Explorer? Double click (or single if you use a MS

*agrees with this guy here*
the arguement will go on for years an no-one will be happy
Still... I gotta tell you all one thing....  I heard a radio ad for the new
iMac (piece of cack that it is) and it was a conversation between a yank
chick and a yank bloke... Anyway! the convo went on desribing the new
features of the iMac and all that and at the end the chick asks "So what are
all those little green dots?" and the guy says "They're all the PC users
wishing they had an iMac!"
HAHAHAHA, get that!!! lmao! I nearly died!!!
The sadness of the Mac mentality!
Personally I don't care about what machine someone uses, PC is my choice,
let other people use second best if they want! ;o)

Whatever drive that that letter is allocated to. In my case D is a 120MB Floppy
drive. My CDROM drive is "E", hard drive is "C". "A" and "B" are both empty.
Quite simple really :-)

 Windows Explorer.
You claim to have used Win98 but you haven't come across Windows Explorer? It's
only one of the fundamentals of the OS - the file manager!

I don't like to say that, since I don't like MS monopoly, and find Macs more sympathetics
but the same apply to me : if you understand how works a machine PCs are more flexibles... and less
expensive even with hight end hardware (UW SCSI cards at 100$, processors,...)

9 years of  "Power user" on Macs : BOMB ! BOMB ! TYPE 1 ERROR ! TYPE 3 ERROR !
The first six month on PC : "What a sheet !" (I was learning)
The last year on PC : nice...
Come back to the Mac times to times after upgrading to system 8.1: nice but...

The Think Very Different Tour is joint effort from Apple and Microsoft to get
Macintosh users to use OFFICE 98.  No big deal really.  Rumour has it there's going
to be a tour for Macintosh users that goes something like because your OS can't
handle it, you're never going to be able to use SoftImage, Maya, or 3D Studio Max
tour.

Unfortunate.
Did you ever benchmark a Mac vs a PC ?
The little iMac with a G3 at 233 Mhz is more, more, more faster than a low level 300 Mhz PII.
The true lack, I think, is the non usage of a SCSI port, so I can't buy one.
