If she has a registered version of CS3, Adobe allows platform swaps as
part of the upgrade process, so she could get the Mac version of CS5 for
the same price as upgrading the Windows version.
Or if she already had the Windows version of CS5 she could do the
platform swap for free.

Thanks. I'll look into it. She needs the Adobe Creative Suite for
graphic designers. CS5 is the current version. Expensive stuff, but
she has a PC version of CS3.

I've seen some PCs that are basically iMac style -- a processor
built into a nice 23-inch monitor. One I noticed was the Dell
Inspiron One, but the reviews say it's kind of slow with its AMD
processor. Is there a better box available at a reasonable
price?
what's your price range? B&H has a great price on the last
generation 27" iMac right now -- $1400; if you have a Windows
license you can install it under BootCamp or you can use Virtual
Box (free) or VMWware or Parallels (around $60) to run Windows very
smoothly and keep all those programs
and what are the programs she can't afford? in many cases there is
something included with the Mac or available as freeware that does
what an average user needs
