Hi there. We use both Mac & PC and have for many years. There had been
some reticence from our IT crew in the past to support our Macs (cue:

There is nothing different about the performance of a Mac vs. PC for the
money you put into either. Macs are "better" because they are only
built using premium hardware. And Apple gears the hardware they select
toward image and video editing. You can get the same performance from a
PC by purchas

What better way to energize our moribund list serv than a PC/Mac debate!
In my experience we could not make this decision solely on the actual or
perceived advantages of one or another operating system. Our insitution is an

It's all about the business model. Apple designs it products for a
certain user, both consumer and professional. Creative pros will
reap the benefits of that. The new monitor on the MacBook Pro is one
good example, without talking about anything under the hood.
Also, Unix servers a
LOL. I've been biting my tongue, but since I'm a fool too, here are
my two cents:
1) If cost is an issue, go with the Mac. Unless you are building your
own machine from scratch, you cannot find a comparably-configured
high-end machine cheaper than the Mac Pro. See:

Go with Macs.
The entire high-end hardware and software imaging industry is
optimized around the Macintosh platform.
And the skill set of most fine arts photographers is centered around Macs.
I would very much doubt that this is undergoing change at a measureable pac

Hi Marty,
That's a great question. It seems like that gap is closing between Mac and
PC's in term of use in the graphic arts industry. I know photographers who
work very successfully on both platforms. It's not so much a matter of better
or worse anymore. It basically comes down to familiari

We are hoping that the wonderful members of mcn-l can help us with a

Just to throw more info into the mix, Googling "Mac vs. PC graphics"

Hi Marty:
I think that the Mac vs. PC issue stems from the fact that Macs, in the
past, have been inherently better at solving graphics logarithms and
have been more stable overall, due to the entire package being created
by one company, rather than the mishmash of parts that one gets with
PCs
