Maybe you saw my "coming back to mac from pc" thread below...
Open to all suggestions!
long time since i've had hands on experience with newer mac apps, but need to make the switch back, need your experience and thoughts on what to come back to...
i do more web than printwork, i'm relatively amateur but sometimes do larger print items (3' x 8' @ 150dpi). currenty use AI and PSD and am not familiar with the other alternatives. mostly use psd for simple photo edits, crops, web ideas, and ai for print layouts/text.
outlook is my daily contact tool, other options? use word / excel / ppt somewhat regularly but might need them because of compatability with the mostly pc work environment. perhaps get a pc notebook for contact and use the mac as more of a clean/home work tool?
recommend this purchase?
1. dual-core 2 ghz (upgrade to 2GB independently)
2. 20" apple display
3. cs2 std (unless premium is worth a little more for acrobat?)
4. ms office (word/excel/ppt) - which edition to purchase?
...or would you swap out / upgrade certain items?
THANK YOU
