Using one of each is a little rough. I have my Mac on the right side of my desk, and the Windows computer for work on my left. You close windows differently, copy and paste differently.... its a little bit of a pain some times.


Always happy to hear some critique

Does it matter?

This is an extremely important poll...:rolleyes: now just get into the spirit of it and vote! :D:D

I use Vista at home, and at work I use a mixture of Sun Solaris, Unix, Linux, various incarnations of Windows and we also have a couple of Macs as well!

Mac for all personal and school use, Windows (Parallels) for statistical software only (hopefully the next release of Minitab will have an OSX version).

Does anyone know where I can download Zoombrowser for mac? Or any other program that allows me to view the points that my camera focused on when it took the picture?

Zoombrowser is for Windows. On the Mac side we get ImageBrowser. I do not know if it can tell you your focus points. It should have come with your Canon camera (as well as DPP if you bought a DSLR).


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

.

Not too surprising, actually.

Mac had a reputation for a long time of being the platform of choice for anything to do with graphic arts.

Also, the Mac fan boys have a well-known underground network; so they crawl out of the woodwork everytime there is a poll! :lol:
(Just kidding here guys... take it easy.)
