I work for an advertising agency with close to 3000 employees,
including approximately 700 designers, art directors, and writers.
While the other 2300 employees use PCs, all creatives use Macs. You
don't get a choice, because we have to be transparently interconnected
within the creative department. The decision to go with Macs was based
on the fact that most of our suppliers, including retouchers,
illustrators, photographers, post-production houses and other graphics
oriented facilities, use Macs as well. It may be different in Oz, but
in the US, graphic arts are still dominated by Macs.

No that's pure BS. All the major printed publications in Oz have been
PC based
for over 15 years. Only little self obsessed design houses wouldn't
offer you
your platform of your choice.
