With Graphics I mean graphics programs. I still didn't succeed in finding one that comes close to Xara and has a decent price. And I didn't find one that comes close to Photoshop and has a decent price. Plenty of both on PCs Video: Lot of codecs don't work well on Mac. Stability: That one I really cannot support. I used to boot my old Dell Laptop every few month, I'm booting my Mac at least once a week. I had all kind of system crashes, including kernel panic, but most of this seems to have to do with the Bluetooth stack, got better since I ceased using this. Biggest issue is parts of the UI hanging and forcing a reboot (touchpad not accepting multitouches anymore, menu bar hanging) or orphaned processes that I cannot kill blocking access to some hardware or other resource. I DO like the Mac better than XP and I use it a lot more than Windows these days but it's definitely less stable. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51892 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
