  1. You can get MS Office for the Mac. Most people, including most students can get by just fine using a free application like Open Office, Star Office, or the new Lotus Symphony application, all of which use the ODF format but can also read and write the MS files. (You can also download the Windows versions of these applications and try them out before springing for a Mac.)

     

    If money was not an issue and my job did not require me to work on a Windows PC, I would own a Mac (or maybe a Linux box) myself. Unfortunately, I am saddled with a laptop that runs Windows XP.

     

    Most major graphics applications are available on a Mac, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, Painter, etc., and many of them were available on a Mac first. In fact, Microsoft shipped Excel for the Mac before they released the Windows version.

     

    Im a Graphic Communication Management major and we are encouraged to have Macs, simply because of how well they work with said applications.

    Over the summer I worked in screen printing. We had and order of 30 signs for a plant in Calvert City. The signed explained what safety equipment needed to be worn. After we had printed all 30 of them I happened to notice where it said

     

    "The use of indoor/ourdoor goggles is encouraged"

     

    Luckily... we caught our mistake. but these mess ups can lead to some humorous signs
