Hi, folks --
I have been a PC user my entire computing life, and am pretty close to switching over to Mac. I couldn't exact list the reasons why ... it's kind of like a strange calling. I use them a lot more often now, and I think I like them a lot better, despite not being able to right click.
As a professional Web developer who also happens to be in school for communication, the Adobe Web Bundle is a big decision maker for me. From what I understand, CS2 won't be updated for the Intel chips and the CS3 release is slated for sometime between April and when **** freezes over.
I wouldn't mind purchasing a state-of-the-art machine and running things through Rosetta, provided there's no major performance issues. Some people in the Mac store have told me it runs slightly faster than a G4, some have told me its slower, and some have told me it will crash altogether. Since I can get the student discount on the Web bundle, I wouldn't mind shelling out the cash again for CS3 next year (are you allowed to sell old programs on eBay? hehe), provided CS2 will actually work. And by work, I mean, actually run quickly.
Is there somebody out there that has actual experience that can provide me with some guidance?
(Also -- if anyone has any tips on moving your iPod over from PC to Mac, that would rock too. Oh, and my PC-fan friends will kill me. Suggestions on dealing with people of the XP persuasion would be greatly appreciated as well)
