We depend on Macs and have done for the last 10 years. With 2 g5 Power macs and a mac pro laptop for tethering blads & Nikons, Time machine is a superb back up facility Processing speed is faster than a pc, in my opinion, and image software tends to be designed with the photog & publishing in mind.
We initially had issues with our It Dept supporting the computers, not that they need much support, but they cam around to it - eventually! The new power mac looks very quick, although the design does tend to mimic a loo brush holder!
Good luck on your purchase

Hi All,
I have a question for the group?
Trying to gauge your thoughts as too your feeling with regards to using PC or Macs when working with files/editing processing images etc.
At the moment I use a PC desktop in the office Dell precision with a Mac monitor.
We might have some money to spend, so just wondering if any one out there is using or has experience of higher spec equipment they might recommend or not for that matter.
Ultimately I want to use what ever gives me processor speed along with monitor image quality.
Regards
Keith Sweeney.
