What's with all of this MAC hate? I've had a MAC since 1994 and that same MAC is still running problem free. I have since bought an HP and that damn thing had to be brought back to life more than an extra in a zombie flick. I brought a G5 2yrs ago and that thing smokes every PC I've ever used! To this day I can crank up my 13yr old MAC and it operates flawlessly. The last time I tried to use my 4yr old HP, the damn thing wouldn't even boot. I guess it was jealous or something. Personally, I'll NEVER spend money on a PC again. I've had much fewer problems with my MACs, I find them to be much more user friendly, and the performance is much more that I could have ever hoped for. As a designer who bounces back and forth between MAC & PC platforms, I find that ALL of the Adobe & Macromedia applications work more efficiently on MACs. To each his/her own but, for me, it's MAC
