I hope this isn't going to spark a war, and I'm sure we're all grown up enough not to get tangled into the mines better than yours playground disscusion.
But I've been in the design business in one way or another for 15 years, the first 4 of which were Mac only design for print, when I go into web design in the late 90s I started working with PCs - since then I've had the hard and fast rule, print work on a Mac web work on a PC and I've worked with both pretty much since.
Before you PC guys start, I went for a while when I was PC only, but as I did a lot of contract work for design studios I had compatibilty issues, usually font based so my clients almost dictated I got a Mac although I appriciate cross platform compatibility has got better in recent years.
Anyway my point... after recently spending a small fortune upgrading my Mac I thought it seemed stupid that I was then using a lower spec PC for a percentage of my work. I am currently working on 3 website simaltaneously and they are going to be my first Mac built sites. One is also also going to be my first PHP site, I'm learning along the way, one HTML and Javascript, the third is HTML to a point before I hand it over to a developer freind who will take it into .NET
If you notice my other thread you'll see IE6 is causing trouble, but apart from that it's been pretty good. Just wanted to share and invire comments
