[QUOTE="Aqua, post: 1334904, member: 37545"] LOL many people seem to get the 'Tim Taylor' mindset when it comes to computer shopping. I haven't tried cs3 - 5.5 yet but you should seriously consider bootcamping cs3 (just make sure that you deactivate or never run more than 1 copy at a time - I think you are allowed to install on 3 diff computers BUT only 1 instance at a time) until you can upgrade or if possible find the mac version on sale or something... If you do a google search, you will find a lot of how to switch your adobe win to mac, use on virtual machines etc. Seems that adobe will allow you to switch but you need to jump through hoops and they are more often not supportive.. here are just a few articles to read: 1st is how it runs on VM/Parallels 2nd is benchmarks using them (but they are also old posts so keep that in mind also) [URL='http://www.amazon.com/Parallels-VMware-run-Adobe-CS3/forum/Fx3BYKFVL6BXWG1/Tx1DIPN0N8O4M3K/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B000GHIV2Q&tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Customer Discussions: Parallels vs VMware to run Adobe CS3[/url] [url=http://hansv.com/cs3/]Photoshop CS3 - Mac vs Windows[/url] In the years since I got my mini (about 2005) macs and software have improved a lot.
