Macs still have place in design firms?

Architectural Record, discussing the place of Macs in today's design industry, says that "designers dig the Mac’s iconic look, but lower-priced, faster PCs have eaten into Apple’s market share in recent years."

    Yes.


    A File/Folder Information Utility for Mac OS X™
    (version 1.0b6)

    Welcome to XRay, ©Copyright 2001 Rainer Brockerhoff .
    Please check for the latest updates at http://www.brockerhoff.net/xray.

    You can also press the “Help” key at any time to get help about the top window and its current information panel.

    Why Use XRay?
    The Mac OS X Finder’s “Get Info” window shows a variety of information about files, folders and drives. However, some important items are not available or not editable; XRay tries to show much more information and allows you to edit it whenever possible. If you have an Administrator password you’ll be able to do many things for which root access or terminal commands would normally be needed. (You can also render your system completely inoperable, so don’t use Administrator-level stuff unless you know exactly what you’re doing!)
    XRay tries to deduct more information about a file or folder than competing utilities. For applications, it shows whether it’s a Classic, Carbon, Cocoa or Java-based application; for bundles it consults an extended list of types; for files, if all else fails, it analyzes the first few bytes of the file for hints about the data. Files containing resources have the resource index checked for integrity.
    XRay also allows other developers to write plugins that manipulate files, folders or drives. Hex editors, resource editors, anything should be possible. Subsequent versions should come with a file previewer plugin, a custom icon plugin, and complete API specifications for writing new plugins. Plugins will be installed and de-installed via drag&drop.

    Installation
    To install XRay, simply drag the application icon (as seen above) to one of the standard applications folders:
    /username/Applications (where username is your home directory), for your own use alone;
    /Applications if you wish to make XRay available to all users on your computer;
    /Network/Applications if you wish to make XRay available to all users on your network.
    In the last two cases, you may need administrator privileges to access that folder. XRay will warn you if you’re running from a non-standard location.
    After installation, you must run and quit XRay and/or logout and login again to have the Finder recognize some of XRay’s features, like drag&drop onto the XRay icon or the XRay service. On the first run
