However, : : I find that most of the people in the printing/design industry : : have to convert PC docs to the Mac platform, and there are often : : problems in that conversion. : : I'm not presenting an argument so much as trying to find out what : : others are experiencing in the industry.

BTW, I dont have any problems sending my files to a print shop, do you? Get a grip, or a woman or something. Youll feel better and maybe a little less protective of "Her", the Mac.
