On why 37 Signals uses Macs

Using a Mac is easy, being a Mac user in a Windows oriented environment is not. I was always being asked by my peers, “Why Mac?”. This always leeds to lengthy discussion on Windows vs. Macs, even-though it was unintentionally.

37 Signals is one of the company that I just adore. It’s methodology and it’s sense of style. Everybody by now knows how I feel about Apple and it’s Mac platform.

37 Signals is the company that brought to you Basecamp, Backpack, and other neat Web based application. They also introduce the world to Ruby on Rails. They do all that on Macs.

Apple has posted a video profiling them and their Mac usage. Watch the video then may be you would understand why I’m using a Mac too.

“Working on a Mac really inspire me to do great work, because when you work on something great you generally going to produce something greater”.

Yeah, the video was awesome. And I never knew computer geeks could be so ’sty-lo’ haha.

That’s a very inspiring video. Use something beautiful and you can create something beautiful — they’re right in a way. All designers are influence by their environment — their input.

The famous classical painters made their own paint out of eggs, sap and rock — not exactly beautiful tools. They were influenced by beauty elsewhere like nature and people.

Sometimes it may not be beauty that inspries a great artist. Rembrandt was inspired by poor, sick and deformed people. They made him express sadness beautifully. In the end, it is the strong feelings and emotions we have that let us create beautiful art.

A good artist has a design eye but a great artist has feelings and emotion.

Well, that’s my theory at least. :p

True, I guess each is to their own. May it just the desire to create something beautiful.
