I run my entire architectural office on only Macs. Front end cost
much higher, but life cycle costs much less as we don't spend as much
down time or need IT support which pays for itself quickly. Our
Office manager runs our Accounting software on Windows on a Mac,
because she uses Windows in everyday life & Quickbooks Pro is better
supported for windows, I believe because MS bought Intuit?
+ the Mac platform/hardware design is what a design professional
should be be aspiring to in any event?
YMMV,
Mr. BZ-hope my new Macbook Pro arrives today before I leave town, so
I can use it immediately on the plane.
Don't ya luv NVC Fridays? WTF?
