A close friend of mine is a graphics designer and Photoshop expert. The company she works for (a large, international firm) uses both Mac and PC equipment, and has a large graphics and design department. Not only do they do work for their in-house needs, but also work for outside clients. While Meg prefers working on the Mac, there are times she needs to use the PC for certain programs or situations. It would be great if, instead of needing two computers to get the necessary work done, one machine would suffice. The other side of the coin is that I like her Mac gear, and if I could run some Windows programs on it, I'd be more inclined to buy a Mac when it's time for the next upgrade. All that notwithstanding, it's about time we've moved closer to "universal" computing, where the brand that you choose doesn't determine the work that you can do or the fun that you can have. It's the 21st century ... time to enter it fully and embrace the possibilities and potentials that exist. Shel
