Actually, on the topic of social status and hackintosh…
During a client meeting, my colleague pulled out his hackintosh, the client seen OSX and was immediately impressed he was using a mac, the perceived professionalism of using expensive or popular equipment is very interesting and can play a part in getting yourself a good first impression. (even if your expensive mac is just a compaq with an apple sticker on the back).
As stupid as this sounds I guess it’s just one of those things.. Might have to get an iPad to display their initial mockups during meetings, they might start frothing.
