Upgrade to 1gb RAM.....much better for what you want to do.
This laptop will be used for several purposes: 1. Photoshop editing when i'm not in the office. (happens a lot)
Buy this new CS version.
2. Presentation of photos to clients
Keynote is far better than PowerPoint!!!!
Now the questions:
1. What is a good ACDSee like program for the Macintosh? This program is
crucial to
my workflow. I'm experimenting with Extensis Portfolio at the moment, which
seems
like a decent software to use, though ACDSee is still better.
I like LightBox AND/OR Portfolio.
and Macs come with iPhoto, which works great.....up to a point. I understand that at about 5,000 photos it starts slowing down. However......there are several freebies out there that let you use several different libraries, so that alleviates the 5K or 10K slowdown. New version may not have this limitation.
3. Should I wait for the latest version of the OS? (panther??) How soon do
you think
it'll be before Powerbook comes equipped with these?
The Powerbooks are currently shipping with Panther installed.
