I have come to the conclusion...

The thing is, at the end of the day you got to look at your budget and needs. IMO I have never had a need for macs, only where I work, there is 100% interaction between the printing machines and mac, but it can be easily transfered to PC, and it will be done faster with PC.

The cost is not worth the trouble. Also, it's weight is equivilant to a f**kin elephant. My company has invested in only 1G5, there labs are made up of close to 100 g4s, yet they have only invested in 1 G5, because even they are noticing how useless they are becoming. Working in a printing company I have seen the work done on mac, and the work done on PC, all on different kind of media, people say there is better output with mac, all I can say is BS....the average person can give a ++++ about the 0.8% difference you see. The print operators are the ones who know the big differences, even the mac artists and pc artists do not know the big difference, because what they are working with is still the same technology as each other. When it goes to print is when you see the difference.

My verdict stands with over 10 years experience with all types of machines. If you have the money, and want to buy a pretty figure (aka hoe, +++++, slut, skant) and get a whole load of crap you don't need, especially the speed for a really ridiculous price, feel free my friend. Otherwise just go along with the PC growth, they are fast enough, and will satisfy your needs.

Otherwise just use the MAC at your workplace

By the way, I gotta agree Mac OSX is good, because networking them in a PC(MS/Linux) Server environment is easier.

Also I made a video awhile back with my mac I have at home, its a piece of ++++, lol it has nothing on it, just UT, and its a new g4, it was replaced 2x, because I thought it had hardware failure. It weighs the size of a gorilla, and the graphics even are the same I get on my PC.

Macs = Useless for Personal Use.
