We've managed to stray off-topic again
Apple/Mac are horrendous, being a salesman myself I know that Steve Jobs is a genius when it comes to sales, and unfortunately people fall for his tripe. Before now he has used the sales pitch "Macs don't get viruses" and yet they charge an extra £30 for an antivirus... The laptop that I type this to you on is much better for graphics than the i7 macs we were meant to use at college (a difference clouds filter takes 3 seconds less on my laptop on an A3 canvas than the mac we tested on did). The mice are horrible to use, uncomfortable and incredibly inaccurate (hence I use my Logitech MX Revolution) and any premium you pay over the price of a normal home computer is purely for the name or is just form over function.
