Peace offering for the enemy. - 09-10-2010, 04:52 PM


Many of you know my mild hatred for the Apple fanboi and their misguided thoughts of computer superiority over PCs. I am getting better.

As a show of peace I made you a present. I came across this tutorial and loved the look. So I made you some desktop wallpapers and included my PSD file for your downloading pleasure. I'll leave the files available for a couple of weeks before I take it down. Hope you like.

One man's fanboi is another man's creative professional who quietly gets his job done using the tools he prefers. Of course, YMMV...

What turned me against Apple was their arogance in the early days. I was told more than once, "We charge that much because WE CAN"... never have got past that...

But PC's charge what they do because they HAVE TO! They can't get any more for what they have to offer... if they could, they would!

You are one of the few exceptions.

At least you honestly know your stuff when it comes to the Apple computer product.

I kind of feel the same way about some photographers

Note: I am NOT referring to anyone specifically or anyone here on TPF, but I wonder when the shoe is on the other foot...
