But, for those of us who have discovered how much better the Mac platform is for design, security, and overall user-experience, going back to the PC is like stepping back in time. The PC is a good machine in its own right, and I should know, I've used them since the days of the 8Mhz 8088 XT and have been a PC tech for the last 15 years.
It works OK, and I still do all of my design on my Macs, but I personally would rather not have anything to do with the PC at all anymore, hence my original questions. I have my cutter plugged in to an old P3-800 running SignLab. And it's not that the PC isn't capable of doing the job, it's just that my most powerful computers happen to be Macs, and I simply don't like having PCs plugged into my local net and try to avoid it whenever possible. I guess what I need to know firstly is if CutStudio will even work with my older machine before I look at getting away from the PC altogether.
