Probably you need to ask Adobe themselves. I think that there is a scheme where they will replace your disks for a reduced fee. Your Eizo will be no problem. Confirm that your stored mountain of data will require no changes on the new OS? Your RIP compatible? Do you need any other software such as Office? Depends exactly what you want to do with the laptop of course. We tried a little Mac book here for a year but never got used to the interface after years of exclusively PCs. It might be very worthwhile if you can sit dowm with one of those Mac photog folks and learn the interface a little before you spend your money? 2009/11/10 Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> > LUG: > > OK - you guys have almost convinced me.
