Wasn't desktop publishing a big early "killer app" for the Mac? It had the Laserwriter and I am under the impression that its management and rendering of fonts were better as well. Amiga had a big impact on audio and art of I remember correctly. I took an art course in 1993 and the lab was full of Amigas. Not only did they have color screens but there was a rudimentary video capture system as well. We couldn't actually edit videos but we could incorporate video into projects. We did have a Mac in the electronic audio lab though. Mind you, it was a single Mac Quadra. We had just gotten a 60mb hard drive which really opened up audio editing capabilities. We would dump our projects onto a DAT and reload them in our next time booked in the lab. All that gear was really expensive. I ended up using the analog stuff more (Moog something or other, Otari 1/4" 4 track, razor blades, tape, etc.) because it was so much easier to get up and going and tape loops were a lot of fun.
