Gosh there are lots of choices out there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject. I like the macbook pro 15 inch, but it's just not affordable. And I fear losing alot of my files, scrapping, actions, styles, brushes, other software, etc. in making a total switch to mac. I may stay pc for now, as I won't have time to dedicate to learning a new system untiil summer. But this discussion is SO useful, thank you, GingerScraps ladies!
