[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3120455, member: 16989"] AutoCAD on a MAC. You are in Hell. Or at least a reasonable facsimile. Unless OS 10 is 99% Better than Previous Attempts, your chance of going Postal rises 72%. While Photoshop might work Better (I still hate that Program, none of the Right Clicks work like they should; indicating a MAC preference); AutoCAD should NOT be loaded on a Mac unless you are a Masochist. You might get it to work right, but you might not. The only advantage a Mac has over a PC is the Control Apple has. I would NEVER buy a PC off the shelf (I recently bought a HP Laptop; reformatting the Harddrive first thing killed dozens of Pre-loaded Spam and Spyware 'Special Offers'. The problem with a PC is the amount of effort you need to go to buy a really great system cheap. One maker has the best Graphic Cards, Another Harddrives, Another MotherBoards, Soundcards etc. And if you just get 1 bad piece, the whole thing might not work right. Also, most makers; Dell, Gateway, etc stuff some much advertising, special offers, and little nasty annoying 'Helper Programs' that just sit in the background and do nothing but consume resources that they'll never run like they should. A Mac is a good machine. Better than 95% of the Off the Shelf PC's you could buy at a store. But that is maore a statement of the Largest PC makers than the PC itself. You can build a Vastly Superior PC for 50% the cost if you do a little research and are willing to hunt around. Edit: Although I am going to Offically request a Voodoo doll of Bill Gates right this minute, and every time I get a "Updates installed, do you want to reboot now?" That will NOT GO AWAY! BAM!!! Hammer to the Groin. Does anyone know how to turn that annoying piece of CRAP OFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! I'm tired of screaming "I WILL SHUT YOU OFF BEFORE I GO TO BED, NOW SHUT THE BLEEP UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Edit 2: [URL=http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000294.html]Went Here[/URL] and it told me how to stop it. My taking levels in Barbarian for Rage is done... For now. [/QUOTE]
