Please stop > beating it ;-) Don't agree Jefff, I run both Mac G4's and Dell PC's with XP and for graphics, and for both stability and graphics the Mac is the winner. Windows owes it dominance to IBM's stupidity in thinking hardware was the key not software and to Gates's ruthlessness and willingness to break trade laws. He may not be so lucky in Europe :-) Yes, my PC's are used but only for certain astronomical software for which there is no equivilent for the Mac (yet!). But in the PC world show me a free raster image printer like QuadTone RIP. The point is that in a world free from MS's antiturst abuse there should have been and be room for all even Atari. Finally, either Microsoft can't or won't lockdown Window's from a security standpoint. My image files are never stored on the PC but trasferred to the Mac. (and soon to a Mac Server). Somehow I sleep better at nights. Just remember, OS X and Linux are kissing cousins and Open Softeware is here....Cox Cable is maintaining a 600,000 customer database using MySQL which is freeware and not 1/2million Oracle package.
