I run all the standard PC-based engineering design software under Parallels and "it just works". For those arguing over the price aspect.all I can say is you get what you pay for. This is not to say the Mac is perfect.but it's very close. No need to replace hardware every two years, due to H/W failures. No need to even run virus protection S/W.Ĥ. That was quite an admission from the magazine's standpoint.Īfter having to use PCs during much of my engineering career, as soon as I had decided to retire early from the corporate world, I switched over to the Mac.ġ. A Macbook Pro running Windows under Parallels ran faster in all categories than the fastest PC at the time. I guess it must have been 5-6 years ago, PC Magazine did one of their periodic speed comparisons using a standard set of characterization software. Martin holds a BSEE from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and an MBA from Bentley College. Martin has performed "The Measurement Blues" and "The Lab in the corner" live at IEEE EMC Symposia. "Below a GigaHertz" pays homage to engineers to whom working with signals below 1 GHz is ancient history. Even connectors have made it into Martin's songs. It all started in 2006 with "The Measurement Blues," proving that you can write a blues about anything. Martin's claim to fame comes from music, where he's written six songs about life as an engineer. Visits included Bose, DeWalt, and Tyco Electronics (now TE Connectivity). From 2004 to 2012, Martin visited numerous companies to learn how engineers performed test. All of these apply directly to connectors and connectivity. His favorite applications for these instruments were high-speed signal measurements, basic measurements (voltage, current, power), calibration, and EMC/EMI/RFI. Technologies included bench instruments such as oscilloscopes, meters, signal sources and their applications. During that time, Martin covered a wide range of technologies and companies. Martin Rowe served as technical editor and senior technical editor at Test & Measurement World for 20 years including three years as EDN Design Ideas editor.
