I guess like John said, if you can maintain both platforms then you've got it covered, especially when the bureaus want things in Mac format. We primarily use PCs because it has been invoked by the director. A friend of mine who works for Kodak loves her Mac equipment and just doesn't understand why we don't revolt and get Macs. Interestingly enough, last year Kodak chucked most of their Macs out to get new PCs. Something to do with a network system. Jane was able to keep her machinery but got new PC equipment. We haven't had any problems with print shops converting our info, however, there is a cost factor. All that design work your graphic designer spent time on now has be re-formatted. So guess who has to pay for the new "design." Make sure that when you do spend time on graphics that the outside vendor can read your info. O Olivia S.
