Metla, A large number of quality graphics professionals swear buy mac for top line graphics work, the same people are above the, mac, linux, M/S scrapping. these are tools, use the best tool for the job, as they see it. their activity is a good guide. PC World ran articles on the G5 with 8GB ram in this area also Those people dont spend that kind of coin for fun. You got the money, you buy a, CAT, a HAITACHI, or a "hurry to die" HYUNDAI. D. |

| 289139 | 2004-11-10 00:38:00 | I wouldn't suggest for a second that a mac user changes from their chosen platform,nor that Macs aren't capable performs,nor would i bring budget into the equation. Just seems to me that the reasons for Mac are no longer an issue.Windows computers can outperfom them in any task without breaking a sweat,and provided the computer is sourced from a reliable seller they are no more prone to crashing then a mac. Seems that the only area Mac has it is with their OS,and thats a personal opinion,not a fact,I have no love for the Mac interface.. Although i can see quite a bit of humour in swapping out someones dearly loved Mac for a windows comp and telling them to lump it as it was a finiancial decision.... |

Serious graphics apps developed for the Mac - nothing really to do with the hardware. Graphic designers buy expensive macs for the software they can run on it. But we're talking CAD type work here, not graphic design/artwork... Mike. |

| 289141 | 2004-11-10 00:40:00 | Oh,and Cats are underpowered and over priced,They seriously impact the amount of work that can be done in a day. No comment on Hyundai......They don't deserve one... |

Swish, Now excuse my ignorance as i know little about Mac's and their software,Are the top graphics programs and Cad software not available on Windows?,I had presumed Photoshop was the program of choice for graphic artists . . . . . Though i am completely ignorant when it comes to Cad apps surely they would be dening themselves millions of dollars in revenue by not producing a Windows equilivent . . . . Or is it that the Cad industry is so dominated by Mac that a Windows version would have no market? My understanding of Cad is that its used for structerial design,Is this correct?,Does it have any other uses? |

Metla I think you misunderstood me :) I was saying that while the Mac might be the machine of choice for graphic designers (eg artists - photo editors etc.), CAD doesn't fit into that category, and the Mac isn't necesarily the machine of choice for CAD users (in fact can't think of any CAD users I know that use a Mac). Going onto the subject of Macs and graphics capabilities was moving off the topic of CAD usage. Cheers Mike. |

| 289145 | 2004-11-10 05:30:00 | Metla, Under powered = Yep. Over priced = yep. what really outlasts them? When bits do wear out "Finally" they are easy to repair/replace. What other manufacture of H/Equippment runs a vintage parts service, and has most parts available readily for 15 year old machines? Thats part of what you buy, when you buy CAT. I am actually not a great fan of them. but respect where due, must be given. bit like the mac + the mac S/W available for H/E graphic work = a better package. In straight out display there is probably little in it D. |

| 289146 | 2004-11-10 05:38:00 | well........A 15 year old machine that has been run for 6 days a week is knackerd in every department,Cost far more to keep em alive then to replace,no matter what parts are still available. I know of no company that would run gear over five years old no matter what the brand...... Well,maybe as secondary machines. |
