"Hey Julie, I bought CS5 Extended, and got two manuals in PDF format that are excellent. One has over 800 pages, and is 25 Mb. If you'd like, I can try and email it, but the size may be prohibitive for Yahoo. Ralph bachclan@yahoo.com"

"The Adobe photoshop CS5 book for digital photographers, by Scott Kelby. I think the publisher is New Riders."

"I suppose we will all rave about whichever system we use. I started with an Apple IIc, but moved to the PC for reasons mentioned by many here. In those days, the numerous computer stores that existed would have one corner of software devoted to…"

""(and trust me, Macs DO crash)" LOL, my first day in digital illustration class the instructor told all the PC users to get on the Macs and vice-versa. he was lauding the Macs telling us how stable the systems were. I had mine locked up…"

"I have used both. I now own a PC. I have 8GB of RAM 750GB hard drive, A NVidia GT 3400 graphics card 512 MB graphics card, 22in wide screen monitor lots of other goodies, running64 bit vista premium (yes enough power that it works as good or better…"

"I almost hate to enter this discussion after all these months. I may be one of the few people who actually switched FROM a Mac to PC. Many years ago, my first computer was an Apple IIe. When Apple released the Lisa (remember that huge monstrosity?)…"

"I just went through the same process and bought a MacBook. I wish I had done it years ago! First of all, it has a Core Duo Intel processor with 4 Gigs of Ram, so it is spec'd better than my laptop, but by comparison it is much, much faster than…"

"I have owned both Macs and PCs. At one point in time Mac was the clear winner for working with graphics. Not any more. The interfaces are very similar and the software (like Photoshop) is pretty much the same on either platform. The kicker is that…"

"I have an apple mouse that has a right click and a ball that lets you scroll windows horizontally and vertically at the same time, it is also cordless and optical, works out of the box via bluetooth without installing any drivers. The new magic…"

"I am a Software engineer and use all four major computing platforms (windows, mac, linux and unix(solaris)). Three years ago I switched to a mac for my home computer and use a Mac Book Pro when consulting. If you just look at the pieces that make…"

"Once you go MAC you'll never go back! Great graphics, easy to use, never get a virus...etc, etc"

"I have never used a PC, but I do like my macpro. It is more money, but I do not have problems with net based viruses, and it is pretty fast. Nothing is instantaneous, but it does deal with many large images without any problems."

"I vote for PC! However, to be fair, my vote has nothing to do with photographs. Everything Apple is proprietary. So far as I know, you can't buy an Apple mouse that right clicks -- don't even dream of using a wheel! Others have mentioned…"

"I have been running into some great kits offered by Nikon and Canon through COSTCO and Sam's Club. The kits include the body prog. disk, case, cords, and two lenses, the 18-55 and the 55-200VR. The bodies include the Nikon D90, D60, D40 D5000…"
