JTT, ever since the first computers were small and cheap enough to fit on one's desk the potential and actual owners of hardware and software have argued the merits of their own choice and decried that of others; proselytisation was rife before the Mac appeared and just got more intense once it did.

If you like a Mac, use a Mac; if you prefer a PC, use a PC! It's not a religion!

For many, it really is, but there are some cooler heads on this thread and quite a few who've taken the 'tools for the tasks' approach implicit in your post and dealt with both systems. The bits of this thread I find really interesting are the snippets of detail about how users have resolved the problems that have been identified.

Cheers, Rowan
