So . . . let me understand this. Wintel isn't any good for graphics except at the high end . . . No, it plays OpenGL games quite well. :) I wrote that graphic designers (your average ad and brochure creating ones) do not like Windows and will not use it (unless forced to) for creating their output. The tools the Wintel world provides for this are still a long way from providing the ease-of-use available with the Macintosh for this type of creation. This is beyond the already inherent limitations in the the Windows OSes for longtime Mac users (8.3 file names, file management, font management, color sync problems, etc.). The graphics designers to which I'm referring would have no need for a high end digital editor and 3D modeler, this is not the work they do. I was referring to a decked out multiprocessor NT box with all the standard graphics apps like Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, etc. for that $20K -- all the designers I know will take the Mac every time. Of course a digital video editor and/or 3D modeler would want one of those NT boxes, for that is what those machines are suited for. At least until Mac OS X and the G4 AltiVec processors are out...
