I think the reason a lot of people used to use Mac for graphics was because of the software. It ran better on Mac. But that was years ago.

Since Microsoft started to license it's software, and people started to see potential growth, PC has increased it's software base 1000 fold. I've seen software at some 7-11's here in LA.

I've used PhotoShop 5.5 and 6.0 both on MAC and PC. There is no difference in the performance of the software. The biggest advantage of PC is it's ability to MultiTask.

The thing I hate most is on MAC if you accidently click outside the image in PhotoShop, (or any program) it fights to minimize everything, and bring up the desktop. FUCK! Then I have to wait for it to load the desktop, so that I can get back into PhotoShop.

Also, on PC I have the advantage of using the Right mouse click, and mouse whell, to speed up my working time.


On MAC, you have to almost shut down out of one program to use another. I'm a window opening fool. I always run at least 2 to 3 programs at the same time, and have a minimum of 3 of net browsers open at once. I run NT and Windows 2000 pro on two different computers, and rarely have any problems.

MAC SUCKS!
