[Leica] New Apple software, Aperture

[paul at paulhardycarter.com (PHC)]

It's always struck me that the Mac seems to appeal to two groups.

The first group is people who don't want to know about computers but 
just want to use them (home users, designers...). Then you get the 
people who don't use Macs, who like to know about computers, and like 
to play around with caches and busses, to open up the box and get stuck 
in.

Then you get the second group of Macites - the most extreme "techies", 
for whom the computer on their desk is simply a tool again.

Just an observation. Probably nonsense.
