Digital BW, The Print

FWIW, I'm a Linux and PC/Windows user. My photog buddy up on NYC
is a Mac user (a laptop and a tower).

We talk over many issues (scanners, profiling, printing) and seem to 
have the
same problems and concerns, really.

That said, OS X is an elegant and powerful Unix based OS. But then, I'm 
partial
to Unix based operating systems and have a software engineering 
background :-)

My bro' has an MS in computer science and last year traded in his PC's 
for Mac
systems (yup, plural - geek chic).

OTOH, PC's give you a really wide choice in hardware vendors, and Windows
XP, while not my fave, is certainly no slouch.

Probably can't go wrong either way.
