the main problem that I'm afraid is when customers and peers send me a file from Windows in emails or thumbdrive then I need to convert them it will be problematic.:dunno:
No need, so far no problem in any words, powerpoints, Excel files

ok ok..thks for the tips! Now the macbook air is here, dunno should I stick to a macbox or this. I heard the macbook is not as gd as the macbook pro in terms of durability and performance.
ya I figured...but my main applications are not photos editing or video...just occasional updates for web and presentation. Mostly conferencing and biz applications like spreadsheets, powerpt, word. Hence reflect or not I'm not so concern. Mainly is I heard people told me the cheaper macs are very problematic, and the pros are a bit too huge for my carrying.
after much contemplation.. i bought a mac (very happy gal now)
and what's more, for those who are scared shitless knowing that their life without a mac is a big question mark, install bootcamp and get urself a windows OS ready.
u'll have both mac and wins..
but as far as i'm concern, i'm running mac most of the time.
unless there's really a need, i'd not bother to switch over to wins
Has anyone use a iMac for photoediting. Thinking of this config 20" screen, 2.4 Ghz C2D, 500mb Hdd, 256mb ATI card and 4 gig of ram. Additional software will be Nikon Capture NX and CS3. Appreciate any feedback
I was also considering this but it has a glossy screen which is not ideal. Capture NX is excellent and probably the best if you want to convert NEF files.

There are ways to cut glare. It depends on how much control you have over your operating environment.
Blackout curtains help a lot in this respect.
Also, unless you're REALLY sensitive, you learn to to tune out what little reflection is left.
yup... photoshop scripts, on the other hand, come in 3 varieties, Java, Visual Basic, and AppleScript... the first works on both, while the second works only on Windows and the third on Macs... just fyiCan actions created in CS3 (windows) be reused in a Mac
I am using a Macbook now which I bought abt 2 months back.true lah....any 1 using macbook and is ok with the performance? I dunno how fast the processor are nowadays on Mac, but if some Photo editing and video editing is needed, macbook pro is the way right?
