If you are a graphic design major you won't find a better computer than a Mac. I do lots of graphic design in my old, always reliable G3, OS 9.2. Apple has come up with the latest operating system for the Mac, Tiger, and all the reviews I read couldn't find enough words to rave about it. Walter Mossberg, who writes the technical column for the Wall Street Journal called it the best operating system for any computer ever. He also said it will take Microsoft the next 18 months to "copy it."
Remember, the award winning Pixar animated films were done with Macs.
I can't hide the fact that I'm a Mac fan.
