[Hidden-tech] Mac or PC?

My 2 cents. I use Windows and Mac, but gotta say that I feel it's more down
to the skill of the designer than the platform. Go with the platform you
feel most comfortable with - these days there's no real discernable
difference in design software on either.

I've been running both simultaneously for multimedia for about a decade now.
And they've never been closer than they are now.
There are now certainly aspects of even a Vista PC that are better than the
Mac - managing accounts, for instance.

I'd say it really depends on specifically what you are doing with the
machine.

naw... I figured I'd let some others have a chance to expound upon the pure
power and beauty of all things Apple...

Dina,

Mac is better, but not to say you CAN'T do the same on a PC. But on a Mac
you CAN run WINDOWS, so you can have the best of both worlds.

I'm sure Tom Adams will chime in on this subject.

I'm a graphic designer and have been using Macs since the late 80's
when they were developed. My latest Mac was a G4 Titanium Laptop, which
I purchased about 6 years ago. I  spent the last 3 years doing
marketing and events, with only side graphics jobs. Now that my
graphics works has picked up again, I realized I have to buy a new
laptop.
My question:
Is the Mac still superior to the PC in graphics, audio and video
editing?
I know the Adobe Pro suite and the Macromedia suite are cross platform.
Many people are using PC's for audio and video editing. And everything
for Mac is more expensive.
I have to update soon, I'd love to hear some feedback.
Thanks,
