Great picture you painted there!
I used an Apple Lisa back in the mid 80's and always thought it was easy to use.
I bought a Windows machine because most of the software I use, especially
AutoCAD LT, MathCAD, and some other engineering software is written
specifically for Windows. However, in protest of Window's dominance, I
installed a second OS, Xandros (Linux). I've never installed an operating
system before, let alone getting two different ones to co-exist on the same
computer. I plan to us the Xandros as much as I can, but the core use of
the computer, for work, will be in Windows. I've never heard of anyone
using AutoCAD on an Apple machine, not to say that it wouldn't work.
AutoCAD is a requirement; no choice there since everything I generate
there is opened by other AutoCAD users. BTW, AutoCAD is one of the
best programs I've ever used, mainly because it is extremely customizable
so you can set it up for the way you like to work.
