Apology accepted, Tim... I am 64yrs old and been in the hospital a number of times with some chronic diseases, and I know nursing can be a frustrating and wearing job. I always try to be a happy and cooperative patient and have made a number of good friends with RNs over the course of the years. As for equipment, I have worked in the graphic arts all of my life, first a small press operator, then 4-color stripper, color specialist and separator, and worked on Macs for the last 15 years. It is surprising to see the equipment that some very reputable shops use. For instance I work for one of the most successful label companies in U.S. right now and I am responsible for creating, modifying and preparing art for output for clients like Coca-Cola, Starbucks and Quaker, to name a few. The art I handle is responsible for multi-million dollar accounts. The machine I use is a 9600. I am a one-person and one-Mac department. I take some of the larger files home to work on and use my G3. I am thinking of moving up to a 933 G4 at home but was concerned about the transition. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on new software. I believe if you check with others who work at large companies they will tell you pretty much the same thing. There seems to be a real ignorance as to the need for a fast Mac when there are several hundred Dells in the company still running Windows 95 and working fine. Extremely frustrating. Take care...
