Hello Ecologers,
It's time for me to invest in a new computer. I've long been a fan
of Dell computers and PCs in general, but because of the issues I've
seen with Vista, I've been considering a switch to Mac.
The problems are one, Macs seem much more expensive than a
comparatively equipped PC (which is a factor for a graduate student
like me), and two, I can't seem to find any one in the ecology field
that uses a Mac for work.
I was hoping there was someone on this list that uses a Mac to
perform GIS analyses, runs statistical packages like Systat or Program
R, and maybe how they've found Mac's OS to work with in a field where
apparently most of our colleagues are using Windows.
Any input would be extremely useful at this stage. Thanks in advance.
