...I will take you up on that advice. Thanks.
I hope the local Mac-shop will be willing enough to let me spend some time on their macs to try some of my heavy PS files.
Just as a note:
concerning the need to use vectorworks for cad: the problem with that is not just a rosetta speed issue, it is just not functional at the moment under Rosetta (crashes). It seems that bootcamp cannot be avoided in this case. No hard date picked yet for a universal binary either.
If that was sorted out , Apple would immediately have more customers i believe .
Architects are in the 'twilightzone' at this moment....until....you know....the universal binaries arrive.
My conclusion is that for the moment buying an intel mac is fine for home use.
For professional (graphical) use i am not sure.
Maybe when the needed UB's are out,the new PRO-macs (G6?Quad-intel?) are out as well.
Worth waiting for....
In the meantime i'll just have to cope with what i have now.
I hear a lot about Linux lately.I consider this also as an option but i have no experience with that whatsoever. Could Linux be a temporary (or lasting) solution for me?
