The chance of someone's computer crashing while you're "visiting" is low regardless of machine mac or pc, hence mentioning working on a large floor full of them for extended periods of time, not 5-10 for a half hour visit. I've worked on both and the crash rate is about the same.

So now tell you? What? AGAIN?

A. Historical platform dependency. Why, when all your senior staff have been trained on macs since the 80's are you going to sweep the rug out from under them and make the whole office PC-based? Not only why, but HOW lol they're probably the ones making the decisions or own the company

Do you understand this concept? I even gave you the contrary argument - why is 3d work mostly done on PC based systems "if mac is better"?
Geddit? PC's aren't better for 3D, they've just had a historical dominance. Macs aren't "better" for print, they've just had historical dominance.

Also you'll notice (actually, you should have noticed) that nowhere did I say "PC's are better".
