Bring a 17" powerbook to work, when they tell you why you have to use the PC, show them exatly how your productivity is increased with the Mac.

I like that idea. (Well, any PowerBook, or even an iBook if you get desperate.) Don't like what they give you? Provide your own. They'll notice.

I like the Powerbook idea... but be careful... Company policies can be tricky... And manager egos can be even worse. I would stick with using their gear until you have at least been there awhile and have a better idea how they will respond. Productivity is good.... but not worth damaging your relationship with your supervisors. Besides, I did graphic design on PC for years... it's really not that bad... just not the preferred method.
