Hi, Chris. I can't tell you about a comparison since I've never owned a Mac. But, my home PC with XP and IP (Epson 2200) is pretty easy (easy is good) and I've never had a stability problem with it. That's XP home. Everyone in our firm bitches about XP Pro. Our IT manager told me I need to come into the 21st century, so she ordered me an IBM notebook with XP pro. I thought, OK, I need something to take on trips to download CF cards, anyway, so no problem. Guess I'll find out if there is really a difference in the versions. > -----Original Message----- > From: chris [mailto:cjones@delhi.net] > Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 7:53 PM > To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: [Digital BW] smaller Mac market > > I use both Macs and Windows, and have for years.
