Subject: RE: Revit Structural
Actually what irks me about Mac users is their condescending attitude and snobbery. The PC is not as bad as portrayed by Mac users. There are more problems with security issues but primarily because the audience is so much larger. Exploiters of security and authors of viruses go for the market. Even so, the Mac has had viruses and some security issues. I have used PC's forever, it seems, and have had no major problems. Lost a few hard drives but that is not a PC issue. I have had one virus that did no damage but caused usability problems. I ultimately had to format my drive to get rid of it. But virus scanners and adware/spyware and firewall software have kept me safe even from key loggers. Anyway, I get lots of work done on my computer and have automated many of my designs. It has meant a higher effective hourly rate, more options for design optimization and elimination of calculation blunders, not to mention the free time it gives me. Mark E.
