Gota agree wit' ya, Mac is better platform when it somes to efficint
application.
Used one in school and loved it.

The G3 is a bad boy.

Again this is not a platform debate. It hardly matters what system you
use,
it is more about what tools you have in the box rather than the box
itself.
But design utilities are what counts and the majority of software
companies will
code for PC before Mac.

Im not arguing Mac is inferior to PC in anyway.

Its all about the future and the future of a global internet standard.

Like I said, I used one in school. Loved it. It just didnt support all
the things
I wanted when I found out I didnt want to lay type all day.
I base my interest opinions on the market, not hypothesis.
DTP is not just Quark and Photoshop, its the majority of choice
in the future.

indeed, time is money, why waste time.
