... in 1988. Back then MS Windows did not exist - PCs used DOS. The differences between a PC and a Mac at the time were much bigger than they are today. Still, I made an extensive comparison of the two platforms, and in the end decided that either one could do everything I needed. I picked a Mac because its overall "footprint" was smaller - I lived in an attic apartment with limited space at the time.

For your stated purposes I imagine that, once again, either platform would work, but a Mac might have the edge (multimedia stuff). Why worry? This is an excellent opportunity to try something different.

Where I work, we used to have a mix of Windows and Linux machines, but Macs have nostly taken over. [I'm the person who signs the requisitions.]
