Mea culpa, maybe I was spouting a bit there. My posting had been made just after seeing that Tanya was looking for a laptop (for one reason) to use to project pictures while at the wedding reception coupled with the posting I copied that said pc's and macs could do exactly the same things . . .
I was attempting to give Tanya (and others) an insight on a piece of software for the mac, and probably sounded alot like a zelot while doing so. If so, I apologize. I'm a little behind in my readings, and found that most of the posts simply said something to the extent of a pc can do what a mac can, and wanted to offer up some actual positive mac advice.
Keeping this post on topic with PDML, I just made a purchase that I may regret (pocketbook wise), an *ist D may be on it's way to me this week along with the grip and batteries.

Why is it whenever we say that we shouldn't have flame wars about PC vs Mac that all the Mac zealots chime in anyway? Don't you guys know how to control yourselves? Or does that come with not knowing how to operate a computer?
Get a life you guys - go take some pictures - Tanya already said that Mac's are non-existent where she is. The PC people have been far more restrained this time around.

I wondered if there's something about Macs that make them good for that application, ie: quickly editing then sending jpegs back to the paper/magazine immediately after the game.
I doubt it. There's really nothing a Mac can do that a Windows machine
can't do just as well. Maybe years ago that was true, but not anymore.
