[QUOTE="Pickle, post: 929190, member: 125038"] I would love to tell you that you have to use a mac or else, but I can't. The fact is that most the time your art work or InDesign files will be sent to a printer as a PDF so thats a non issue. Even if you don't the printer will still have compatibility with it if its made on a pc or mac (also the printer will work with you to iron out any compatibility problems if there are any). The biggest problem is going between versions, say Illustrator 10 to CS2, that has been a huge headache. That being said, a large portion of graphic artists, design houses, publishers and printers use macs so go with the flow :) That's my 2 cents :) Matt [/QUOTE]
