:) As a G4 notebook owner, I know the power of macs. Love em.
On the other hand, I have a couple dual processor Windows XP machines, and
when I am doing graphic work in photoshop/illustrator, it really is a help.

John,
the dual processor is great. If a person doesn't have one they don't know
what they are missing. In graphics it is not uncommon to to have to spool
high quality files 100 megs plus and that can tie up a single processor from
doing anything for a while. With the dual the one spools and can be left
alone as the other operations are carried out on the second processor. It's
great and super fast. And unlike the PC it is virtually virus free. Macs
come with internal firewalls already built in and operational.
Go Macs go!
