Enigin Development Team ♥ Mac

All members of the Enigin development team use Mac products - either a Mac Pro or Macbook Pro and Apple Cinema displays. Here’s my personal reasons for using these fine machines:

1. They generally don’t go wrong! I’ve been using Macs for around 3 years now and I can’t recall a single time when I’ve had any major issues. It’s certainly true that they don’t crash as much as Windows-based PC’s.
2. Mac OS is UNIX based. This is the same technology which powers the Enigin server cluster.
3. They are optimised for user happiness! Being in front of Mac OS is such a nice place to be and let’s be honest, the hardware looks awesome. If you’re in the development business then why wouldn’t you want to use the nicest equipment around? You practically stare at it for 8 hours a day!

All the above items contribute to my productivity, I would estimate that I get 50% more work done since I switched from my Sony Vaio 3 years ago.

Here’s what the software development company 37 Signals think about Mac:

The last of the Enigin Directors has just completed the move to Mac so we are all hopeful for a company Mac policy soon!
