Digital BW, The Print

I want to thank everyone for their expertise and advice.  It was a tough decision.  After long deliberation, I finally decided to try a Mac and ordered a Mac Pro tower, dual quad core Xeon processor, 16 GB RAM, 640GB and 1TB HDD drives, etc.  Hopefully, it will kick some serious butt.  I'll want that with my 5dmkII files, since I tend to have LOTS of layers in 16 bit mode.  

I have never owned a Mac so this will be a true learning experience for me.  I have to buy CS4 for Mac, but will run a lot of my older Windows software using Parallels software, which allows me to install them under windows.  

Should be interesting and I am ready for a new adventure.  This forum is so loaded with talented, experienced professionals who do what I do, and this particular thread brought that home to me.  It's a fantastic community and resource.  

Thanks again for your generous contributions.  I really appreciate it.

Regards,
