RE: [Digital BW] Re: New PC recommendations

Hello,
Thanks to everyone on suggestions for a new PC for digital printing. Several
of you suggested "..get a Mac." I have always heard great reviews from Mac
users but have never owned one myself other than my first computer which was
an Apple IIC in the mid 80s. Since that time I have always used PCs for home
and business and probably like most of you have had at least a half dozen
computers through the years always making the upgrade to something better an
faster. Again I am looking to make an upgrade because my newer, lower end PC
will not keep up with images in CS2 and as I seriously make my transition to
digital imaging from my wet darkroom I again need something faster and
better. It all seems to be a never ending story! My traditional darkroom
worked without much upgrading for 30 years but computer imaging seems to be
constantly need upgrading. All that being said my guess will be in 20 years
the transition will be over, digital will be the norm for 99.9% of all photo
and technology will have stabilized. Not sure if I will still be doing photo
then but these are really exciting times in the history of photo and I don't
want to miss out on the fun and action of this new generation of
photography.
Best Wishes,
Gary W.
