[Hidden-tech] Mac or PC?

[Lynne Rudié]

I'll chime in too. My understanding (and experience) is that the  
programs we use as designers are really meant to be run on a Mac. Macs  
do a really good job at keeping all of our large and complicated  
programs running at the same time --they will run on a PC, but where  
they are seamless and elegant on a Mac they are klunky on a PC. Macs  
are also better at keeping lots of large files open at once.

I think over time this is going to be less and less true but for now I  
think the extra money for a mac is well worth it. (Also--check out  
refurbished computers on the Apple Website. And find educational  
versions of software you have to buy...)

Others may have had other experiences with Leopard but I recommend it  
very highly, for Time Machine, if nothing else.
