This stuff between Mac and PC is never something I've felt influenced by. I've had a PC for a few years now and just would like a change. I work a lot with command lines and the Unix-like operating system behind the Mac appeals to me. Since Lightroom came with both a Mac and a PC version, it's fairly undramatic to make the change. I'll have to check out Vuescan first, but I can't image there should be any problems. At one time the Nikon Coolscans were giving headaches, but I think we're talking about years ago. I think I'll go shopping tomorrow.
