[Hidden-tech] Mac or PC?

[Baer Tierkel]

I switched to Mac about 18 months ago after 20 years on the PC  
platform.  It was 100% the right decision for me, I use it for  
software development and graphic design.  In terms of cross licensing  
I called Adobe and they had some sort of cross-platform upgrade deal  
that basically gave me the upgrade price for the new mac versions of  
all the Adobe bits I have rather than having to buy it again.  They  
said I could only do it once.
