Brandon Posts: 431 Joined: 7/13/2004 From: Indiana, US Status: offline	PC or Mac? - 2/1/2006 14:39:27 As professionals here.... I was wondering if most of use a PC or Mac for web design/graphics? Do you have any reason why you use one over the other? Also a side note--Have any of you upgraded to DW 8? I'm using DW 2004, and was wondering if it's worth the upgrade. _____________________________ ~ Brandon

I like Mac but I have other things to spend the extra $ on Honestly if you're only comparing the software that runs on top of the OS there isn't a whole lot of difference between them. Do the dual G5 Macs run fast? Heck yeah... but do they work better than a dual core Pentium or AMD 64? Not noticably for web dev. The biggest difference (other than the obvious: price) is the operating system itself. Mac's tend to be far more user friendly than Windows or Linux. You just have to get used to them (like you did with Windows) and be willing to pay the premium for the hardware. That and if you use a Mac you're going to have a hard time testing your websites in IE6 _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
