Tina,
Its sort of like RAW vs JPEG.  The Mac is working with RAW, and the Windows 
PC is like working with JPEG.  I switched 2 years ago right after Leopard 
came out, and have not regretted it yet.  Unfortunately you have missed the 
one day of the year that Apple has a discount day, BLACK Friday, which is 
when I bought my MacBook, with $500 off and a free printer.  I have now 
bought Snow Leopard upgrade for $29 and will be loading it later this week, 
after I do another backup of my files.


Cheers,
Gene -------------- Original message from Tina Manley <images at
