Ok, if we really need, I agree with the fact that we should consider a
wider spectrum. So, I would like to mention to...
... Enric Bernat, creatorof the Chupa Chups lollipop.
... King Camp Gillette, inventor of the safety razor.
... Emilio Bellvis, re-inventor of the mop.

Hi Cristina,
I uploaded Bill's Crafting Personas slides to our local IxDA
Google Group in the Files section.
I also attached it to a discussion thread at our new Ning site.

Thanks very much, Jack. I don't know why Google didn't do it for me - but it
didn't.
The piece by the ex-Assistant Commissioner will be particularly useful for
me.

Hi John,
My main reason would be that I find Macs far easier to use and Omnigraffle has
some fantastic stencils available thanks to communities such as Graffletopia
and Konigi (http://konigi.com/tools/omnigraffle-wireframe-stencils)
I guess I also find it pretty complicated to do simple tasks

that's not an objective reason - perhaps it's a little *too* sketchy!
The exporting to a clickable PDF is a really big factor for Omnigraffles

I was an existing PC user I switched to a Mac (had an option to choose
either) primarily for Omnigraffle. Also, I find Adobe CS a lot faster on a
Mac. Though I'm not entirely sure about this- I think that a PC with
comparable performance for tools that most UX designers use is going to run

Yeah, I can see how the sketchy stencil from Graffletopia wouldn't be
