PC's, not Macs, are the industry standard If money is no object, you might consider one of each, only because the programs used to support the 3Ds -- things like Illustrator and Photoshop -- are much more stable on the Mac than the PC, since they were written specifically for that architecture then ported to the PC. Networking the two machines isn't that difficult at all, and you'll find the colour quality on a Mac superior to a PC's. Macs have long been the industry standard in the graphics community, and for good reason.
