hey

i've a network at home with an imac two ibooks and a pc.
my eldest daughter is studying law, and alot of her stuff is
web based like templates tutorials and stuff. the other month
i was thinking of getting rid of the xp machine and being a pc free zone.

then my daughter gets all this new work to do which can be viewed
but not edited on a mac. all this template stuff like adding images files and stuff can only be done on a pc, just as well i did'nt get rid of it.

will we ever be able to be totally mac only or are we mac users
in a pc world ad infinitum?

regards

what kind of files is she working with? i think it's fair to say that just about any file that comes from a pc can bed edited on a mac. you just have to have the tools to do so.
