Hi Folks! I'm an unapologetic Mac user. And as a college instructor teaching DTP and 3D design, I can tell you it's a lot easier teaching programs like Poser and Bryce (which I will be doing in the spring) on a Mac. But I've also learned that it pays to be competent in both platforms (and just in case, next year I'm gonna learn some basic Linux). !!!!!!! Peter (Dr Zik)
