Ok, enough is enough!
I am a potential switcher. Not switch hitter, just switcher.
I have been running a small PC based graphic design firm for about 15 years and took a couple years off to travel Italy. I met the girl of my dreams and am moving there to create a new design firm there.
Since I have been back, a pal of mine has been gently nudging me to check out Mac's. I guess I have been feeling the tug of Macs for a few years, and purely for visual reasons mind you. But I am officially hooked on the idea of being a Mac user.
Here's the hitch. I must stay on a PC platform for the sake of a software application project that I am in partnership with. In a previous thread I realized that I must use PC for this.
I have been thinking of buying a new Mac PB and keeping my PC desktop for the work involved on it.
I know this board is about being a Mac supporter, but I really need hard hitting advice on the logic of running both systems in a small apartment in Italy. Can I share a monitor? Can I share printers? Is this an idiotic plan? Should I be medicated?
I am totally open to just playing on PC's for a couple years until this project is over or until I am independantly weathly and can rent people to do my PC work.
I love the creative kick I get from sitting in front of a Mac, but that is about all I have under the experience belt with Mac's.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Curt
