Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mike,

IMO, either. The decision will probably boil down to what tools you want/need are available for which platform and, also, who you work with. For example, if most your friends have the PC platform you may want to steer that direction because help will be readily available. If you will be working with outside vendors who are primarily Mac-based, you may swing that way. It's really six-or-one-half-dozen-or-another.

Several years ago the Mac was really the only choice, IMHO, because ColorSync color management was light years ahead of color manangement on the PC. However, recent versions of Windoze have, basically, caught up. For myself, I started with a G4 Mac about 4 years ago, but have since migrated all my digital imaging to the PC because most of the tools I needed were, at least, at the time, only available for Windows. I still use my Mac, though.

Kind of a short answer, but this is a pretty wide topic.
