www.Adobe.com
Creative Suite 3 (CS3) is great!
.... I can give you my opinion but I can't tell you if it's right or not.

I agree, CS3 kicks ass! Costs a fortune but worth the price, especially when processing high-res, it is so much faster than running Elements on my PC.

Agreed -- there are not a lot of differences between the actual software, but as someone who also uses both operating systems every day, I prefer MacOS. Especially the new Intel Macs.

I always love to hear that PC is the devil.
Maybe I am a weirdo but I have an Apple from every generation going back to the early 90's
2 - Blue and White G3 Towers
1 - Bronze Powerbook G3
1 - 1st Generation DVD G3 iMac
1- G4 Mirror Door Tower
1- G5 iMac
1- 20" Intel iMac
1- Brand New MacBook Pro
and I think Santa is bringing me a 24" iMac for my home office.

Each one of those computers is 100% in use everyday and they all work.
Never had a virus and other then a few internal batteries dying, no real repairs.
I did drop my first laptop out of a window in college but it was life or death and it didnt get messed up to bad.
Thats my story.... GO MAC or GO GET YOU PC FIXED

Spent many years Mac based working for other people but when I went freelance I could only afford a PC and after the initial culture shock have been quite happy with PC's ever since. I know people wont like to hear this.. and no one ever believes me, but the Macs I worked on were far more "crashy" than the PC's... Id love a shiny sexy mac.. but Im quite happy with the non sexy PC from a cost point of view...
