Architosh Receives "Record Growth" since Power Mac
G5 Introduction
Since
Apple's June 2003 introduction of the Power Mac G5, Architosh.com
has recorded its fastest growth in membership and site activity
since mid 2002.
PROVIDENCE, RI. --- Feb 11, 2004 --- Architosh.com,
a leading CAD portal specializing in IT information resources, end-user
support and community forums, editorial products, and industry analysis
for Macintosh-based CAD/3D and AEC users worldwide, has announced
it has received its fastest growth in membership and site activity
since the middle of 2002.
"We attribute our current growth over the last six to eight
months to Apple's introduction of the Power
Mac G5," said site founder and editor, Anthony Frausto.
"We record and track our email from readers and since the Power
Mac G5 we've had a noticeable 20 percent plus increase in correspondence
as well as a significant and marked growth rate in our Architosh
Forums."
The Email Story
Architosh receives nearly 1000 emails from readers a year creating
an excellent tool for gauging the current and changing conditions
of the Macintosh CAD and 3D market. "As we've said in previous
articles and press releases, a good majority of our email is help-based...people
trying to figure out what tools to use so they can do CAD on the
Mac platform," says Frausto. "Some of our recent emails
have been quite interesting and I personally try to answer every
one."
Architosh is anticipating receiving approximately 1300 emails
from readers in 2004. More than half of these are focused on getting
help on choosing the correct software for various applications in
the CAD or 3D visualization fields. Here are few typical emails:
One
of the things that always shocks me is the lack of a native GIS
system for the Mac. It is my understanding that there are systems
that run under the X window system that work on the Mac.
However
you would have thought that a mapping company would have jumped
on the opportunity to get an app running on a 64 bit machine that
usually sells for less than the cost of there apps. ESRI seems
to be asleep but somebody should take the GRASS code and put a
Cocoa face on it. Just some random thoughts.
Peace
and Blessings

I
have been looking for an "easy to use" quick visualization
tool for interiors (with libraries of furnishings and finishes).
Do you have any recommendations? Most of the architectural programs
have a very steep learning curve and are very expensive.
Thanks!

Record Forum Growth
In addition to a dramatic increase in email correspondence, since
the introduction of the Power Mac G5 Architosh's
forums have shown a marked increase in activity which is clearly
accelerating. "I'm personally thrilled at the accelerated growth
curve we are currently experiencing with the Architosh Forums,"
said Anthony Frausto. "This growth has just happened recently
in the past six months and it is hard not to correlate it to the
G5 introduction."
"Our day-to-day forum membership growth used to look something
like 1-1-0-2," said Frausto, "and now it's looking like
2-3-1-4 and that's equating to nearly double the previous growth
rate."
