H really comes down to personal preference. I have both platforms and for me the Mac will never be my primary work platform. From this power user's perspective unless you want to get into command line programming OS X is too limiting and the documentation is poor.
Plus, I love my tablet and will not have another system without the tablet extensions. FWIW, I know one PHP developer who switched to OS X and loves it. While a long time Mac person is lusting often my tablet (1 let her try mine and now she's putting one into her budget for next gear.) if Yom last Mac experience was pre 0S X see if you can rent or borrow one before buying or of least buy someplace with a good return policy. The interface is very different. My Mac is less reliable than my PCs. Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer Microsoft FrontPage MVP http://wiserways.com -----Original Message----- From: William Stewart At the risk of wresting King OT's title away from him, here's an off topic question: I am at a point where most of my graphics software is old and I'm about to do a major upgrade of my Macromedia and Adobe products (pray for my wallet!). All my old, outdated software is PC, but I have been thinking about switching over to a Mac. Since I'm about to do an overhaul of all my software, if I'm going to switch OS, now is the perfect time to do it. I had a Mac laptop about 4 years ago and I loved it for its dependability. I want that same dependability, reliability and processing speed for my work computer. Should I switch to Mac or should I stay faithful to PCs? I know I'm about to start a serious war, but I would like to hear from the Mac Faithful (and you opinionated PCers) about which you would recommend. I really want a tablet bad, but there is no Mac version....yet! ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
