| For all you MAC users/owners ;) quick question So I'm debating on getting a MAC (the price is the only thing holding me back).. most of you know i do photo cards and i also do some webdesign for my dad's studio etc.. and im wondering if a MAC is only good for userfriendly things ie: only browsing internet and e-mail? I'm at a tossup between the Macbook Pro, a Dell laptop or desktop even, or the Sony Vaio.. does MAC support adobe photoshop? because that's where most of time on the computer is spent and i have about 5gb worth of stuff on my current laptop (which is pooping out on me hence the need for a new one) and will i be able to put in onto a mac with ease? i know mac can emulate windows or it can do both (so i've researched a few posts about it).. but can any of you MAC users tell me if it would be a good to get a mac and will it be a good fit for someone in the design realm? thanks in advanced, i'm open to any opinions. |

| I grew up in Apple Country, so through high school and my first year of college, I used a mac. then I switched to a PC (price was better for me at the time). But, now I'm back to using a Mac. I have Adobe Photoshop on my computer and I use it all the time. They have one that is meant for macs. I know a lot of people who prefer to design on macs. By the way, I got an e-mail from Apple saying they are having a big sale on Friday. So if you are thinking about getting a mac, maybe you should check their prices on Friday. Also, if you are worried about space, you should get an external hard drive. You can keep all of your "finished" items over there and just keep the in-progress ones on your computer. Good luck!

| I have a friend who works in webdesign and he swears by his Mac... I've never used one so I don't know personally.

| I think graphics are definately better.Macs are way more user friendly.Mine came loaded with software that would have cost more if I'd bought a pc at the time. I now have both PC and a G5. Still prefer the Mac. |
