Photographic/digital imaging technician required

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Actually the job entails Macs, PCs and the occasional *nix computer. Grow up dude. It ain't about the OS. We use the best tools for the job. If it happens to be a Mac then so be it. All the high end scanning equipment ($100K+ scanners) use a Mac. I'll work on an Amiga if it gets best results - hang on I have before (Avid VideoToaster).

Totally agree they are all much the muchness now anyway... and all using similar hardware... depends on the software and what you have to do with the what tools you have avialable at the time to get the job do with the best results... whether it is Windows, Linux, or Mac, for a long time I was using BeOS to do most of my multimedia work.

Sheesh. Next you'll be telling me Harleys are shite.

But but but... oh never mind... PT
