iMac Stand

Love this stand for the iMac! The USB ports would be so handy and I love the idea of being able to slide the keyboard under this at the end of the day! It would really streamline my desk at home!

Mac Love

Well, I did it! I got the Mac! Craig helped me get it earlier than I thought I could. I decided to go with the 20" iMac instead of the Macbook Pro. I had them upgrade the RAM to 2GB and went with the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, which is more than I would have had with the Macbook, plus the graphics card is better! My only concern was portability, then I realized I most likely wouldn't be taking it anywhere anyway. It's super sleek and sexy! I think I'm in love!

Graphic Designer Gear

Here is my dilemma...

I am really in need of a new computer set-up in order to be more efficient with design and photography at home (I currently have a PC). Almost all designer's I know have Macs. I always worked with Macs at school and then at my jobs and have ALWAYS wanted a Mac for home use, but could never afford one. Well, now I think might be the right time for me to dive in.

If I had it my way, I would get Adobe CS3 (EXPENSIVE!) for the Mac, but I just don't think this would be possible for awhile. I know you can use Bootcamp to operate software in Windows on the Mac, but I'm wondering how convenient this really is, since you have to restart your computer to switch between Windows and OSX. Do any of you have Macs and use this feature for programs like Photoshop or InDesign, for example?

Also, how many of you are using external hard drives for file storage to keep your computer clean?

And, if you have a Macbook Pro, did you go with the 15" or the 17"?
