At MultiLogic, we had Windows machines for the software people and Macs for the designers. Their Macs cost twice what ours did -- and had to be replaced once in the 4 years the company lasted, so they cost twice as much AGAIN. And they were still slower at a lot of things, including some image editing things. Back then they were particular slow at all things network, which was a bit of a problem at a web company. We also had to pay a lot of money to get tools that operated across both platforms -- like a Visual Source Safe client for the Macs. AND they kept the admin people busy with issues a lot more. Meanwhile, I was editing much bigger images at home on my Windows machines. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
