Default Mac or PC or Both?
Just curious what everyone is using for their computer. Do you have a Mac, PC or are you bilingual and have both?

Hamid is so fed up with Windows we are ordering a Mac laptop so will be bilingual soon.
We have three windows machines - he fights with ALL of them when coding because we have so much stuff running all the time - it cramps Windows up often
Windows doesn't bother me and I quite like Vista...but I like Mac too...

I also like Vista Tess. I have an old G4 mac that was given to me, but I am considering getting a new one with the more up-to-date system so I can run newer software.

I'm considering getting a Mac and running Boot Camp on it with a dual-boot of the Mac OS and Windows Vista, for those few programs that I have that are Windows dependent.

I have an Mac and installed Boot Camp on it. So I the best of both worlds. I really love my Mac but when it's necessary to use the windows side because of work.

It's the best purchase we ever made. :-))

I seem to be getting more clients on Mac to that's my motivation along with the fact I'm doing more video and audio work theses days.

I'm excited about it.

I have a Mac. Just started using it about 8 months ago. I love it because it runs Windows programs too. So I am technically bilingual I completely agree with you anisemama, it is the best purchase I have ever made.

Does Boot Camp run Windows okay? That's really my only worry with buying a Mac. I have some programs that only run in Windows, and some of my contracts depend on those programs, so I can't exactly quit using them!

I thought about buying a Mac anyway, and just using the Windows machine when necessary, but it seems like it might get annoying and tedious to have to switch computers all the time! Though the extra memory might be nice. Hmmm...
