It really should not be an endless war and it should not be off limits - 
it just needs to be approached properly. The H/W platform is just as 
important as the image processing S/W, RIPs, inks and papers. The 
computer is integral to the whole process - it's the computer people use 
for editing and it's the computer that feeds the printer.

This is especially true for new people getting started. To some extent 
the Mac had much of it's evolution in the image - particularly video - 
processing world and there may be some advantages to it's architecture 
and/or GUI. On the other hand the PC has much more support, however, 
with Apple transition to the use of the Intel processor this may not be 
an issue in the future.

The topic is valid - it just needs to be civil and based on facts, 
validated performance data - not fear, superstition and emotion.

Cheers,
Truman
