: : Just a tidbit:
: : Adobe's quarterly earnings reflect sales are 50% Windows based and 50% Mac based. This is no small force to be dealt with folks and something that Adobe cannot ignore. So, if you are bent on insisting that the DTP community revolves around Mac rather than cross platform, you might want to re-assess your original conclusions. The future is going to be cross-platform, period.

: Cindy,
: While you quote that Adobe's earnings figures are 50/50 Win/Mac, you should take a look at the well-known stat that Apple's Macintosh has only a 7 to 8% market share of the entire personal computing world. I think that says something right there, doesn't it.
: There was an implication in the original post by Alain that Mac users pay too much or more for their equipment ("huge investment"). I've read more and more lately that Macs have become a better choice in business settings, because of their cost advantage overall, when considering training, upkeep and all other concerns.

Please, Cindy send me some informationa about the
initials DTP, I think it means Data Transport
Protocol. But I'm not sure.
Everynody talks about.. But no one gave the definition.
I have to do a work about that... So. I appreciate
that someone gave me information about that.
Miguel.
