At least its not as bad as using a Mac

Don't get me started on the soddin macs, why do they have to hid the # key and where is the 'print screen' when you need it, none of this silly alt, cmd, shift, dance, 4 etc.

Can you have photoshop, illustrator and indesign open at the same time...no you can't if you want open something turn the whole machine off and on again (though this could be a ram/network issue at uni but no one has worked it out)

And what is with all these silly little extra files that pop up when you save something, just extra stuff to clutter everything up.

Or worse, using a PC!

Don't get me started

TOO LATE! You already did!

Can you have photoshop, illustrator and indesign open at the same time

Sure, I do all the time, plus have your web browser and email open and be listening to music on top of that!
You just must use really low end Macs with no ram!
Seriously Ink, you must have the SLOWEST OLDEST Macs ever. Are they 10 years old or something? Mine is super fast, even working on these huge layered PS profile files.
I have a feeling you're using old software written for single core processors, or worse, you're still using single core processors.

why do they have to hid the # key

It's where it always has been, since manual typewriters, shift+3. Or are you talking about one of those silly things added to PC keyboards because PC users can't figure things out?

where is the 'print screen' when you need it

File > Print, JUST LIKE ON A PC! Or you could use a really silly key command, like hitting the command and P button, that's really hard isn't it?

none of this silly alt, cmd, shift, dance, 4 etc.

Key strokes are SO easy. If I can use them, any other moron can too. I use key commands exclusively. It's WAY faster than pointing and clicking. Anyone will tell you that.

silly little extra files that pop up when you save something

Most all of those have a box that you can check that says "don't show this again" on them. That's really hard to do

All I can say is I get headaches whenever I have to use a PC at work. It always takes SO much longer, to print, to access the network, to save a file, to opening anything.
Plus the whole machine slows down to slow motion if you need an update
I really don't understand how you PC guys can do anything at all.

the uni ones only have 2 gig of ram so do crunch a bit when trying to cope with CS5 and it is not the hiding those extra files that is the issue, just no need for them, one of the few things that windows got right and I always like to see all hidden files so I know what's on the computer.

Regarding the shortcuts it's only the print screen, the real issue I have is that the shortcuts are different for the same tool across the adobe range but that applies to both pc and mac.

I just came back from the air museum in Le Bourget where there is a weekend-long reunion of historical aircraft owners/associations/museum...

Right next to where we were was a Luftwaffe 104. I took lots of pictures of the stenciling, thinking it might be useful to you, Lieuwe.

Drop me an email if you want the stuff.

Light the fire and walk away, thats me.

I do have a nice i7 quad though.

On it! Thanks Gaetan!

Using a MacBookPro now for most my drawing, it's fast but it would be strange if it wasnt for a i7 with 8gb of fast RAM. Mac OSX is nice but not better then Windows 7. The screen on this thing is totally awesome, but I paid extra to get a upgraded one!

[Jesters-Ink]

I find 6gig of fast ram on my i7 is fine, CS3 and CS5 have not maxed it yet.
What screen do you have there, does it work on a PC?
Mine isn't that good when it comes to drawing.
