I am starting a new job and now head up the Marketing and Creative services. I have the opportunity to request new hardware I feel we need. Since the entire department currently runs all graphic work from Dells, I want to request some Macs to simplify the graphics work and eliminate any design shifts when going to prepress from conversion from Windows to Mac.
My question to the listers: I am considering a new G5, but the price of one of these plus display, I can get 3 top of the line emacs. I understand the power difference between the systems, but would it be so dramatic that we could not work efficiently with emacs (or imacs) instead? Another consideration would be Powerbooks, but here the price factor is not as dramatic and we currently would not need mobility. Graphics would consist of desktop publishing using full Adobe suite, (maybe Quark), Macromedia Studio for web, and probably some light video editing with Final Cut Express (this may change in future to include Final Cut Pro). Any thoughts, or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Best Regards, Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
