which software is better for a beginner artist?

Q. Microsoft visual studio pro 2008,Corel painter X, or Auto desk Maya unlimited 2009?
Thanks for the promt answers I hope to hear more !

A. Apples, oranges, and bananas. They all do really different things. You should probably start out with painter.

how much does an Apple Store Genius earn?
Q. Just wondering what the typical wages were for an Apple Genius at one of the Apple Retail Stores, in the San Francisco bay area.

A. it depends on how long they have been there and what certifications they have. i know in toronto if you just have your desktop and laptop ACDT and ACPT certs your making 15 to 20 depending onfull or part time but if you also have your ACTC technical cordinator cert or ACSA systems admin youll be making more they will probably move you off genius bar pretty quick though and put you into something that is more suiting to your brain power. NOTE if your going to apple for genius bar you should have your ACPT ACDT and ACHDS. being the desktop laptop and help desk certifications. the test numbers you will need to take at a prometric testing facility to get these certifications are 9L0 401 (helpdesk and the software side of desktop and laptop) 9L0 004 (hardware half of desktop cert) and the 9L0 206 (hardware side of laptop cert) if you take these you should be able to get the job

What is the difference between linux and windows, which is better?
Q. Some dell computers are loaded with ubuntu linux as an operating system. I've heard that its more efficient than windows and crashes less. What are its advantages? If i were to get a dell laptop with unbuntu loaded on it would I have a tough time figuring out how to use it?

A. Hello Bruce,
Ubuntu is an operating system that has been developed as one of the many alternatives to Windows based and Apple's Operating systems.
The crucial difference is that Ubuntu and related Linux-type operating systems are open-source, which means that a lot of software programmers around the world have worked on it and have the logic behind it accessible to all. The windows and apple family of operating systems are closed source, meaning that those system's logic is a closely guarded secret.

Therefore, Dell computer with Ubuntu installed will probably cost you less ( I hope) compared to one with Microsoft Windows based operating system.

If you plan to use your computer for something as simple as surfing the internet, chatting with your friends and watching movies and stuff, you might be fine with an Ubuntu-installed Dell computer, because of the following reasons:

1) Less number of viruses and worms (because Ubuntu is not as widespread as Microsoft windows based operating systems).

2) Lesser cost, since essentially the operating system is free whereas, a windows based Dell computer will have the cost of the operating system factored into the final price.

3) Relatively faster start-up time based on your hardware.

3) The user interface for Ubuntu is relatively easy to learn and there will be countless resources online to help you out apart from Dell's help desk.


The following reason's go against buying an Ubuntu-based Dell computer:

1) A lot of printers, cameras, web cameras still may not work, if the drivers for those devices do not exist. Most device manufacturers will give you CDs with all your devices which generally support Windows based operating systems or Apple's operating systems.

2) Some of the software may not exist for Ubuntu computers since they are still relatively few. According to one estimate, 90% of the world's computers run on Windows based systems. So it will take some time for Ubuntu like systems.

3) You may have a hard time learning the technicalities of a new operating system and it may take a bit of technical know-how and patience to solve the problems.

These are my 2 cents (it looks more than that :) )

Thanks,
Manan
