Here, in brief, is the situation...
We are about to have our computers upgraded at school (in the Photography dept.) At the moment we use iMacs and I am suggesting that we switch to PCs and with the money saved invest in bigger and better monitors, and 20 licenses for PS CS5 - we currently run CS
This has met with approval from our IT dept. but one of the senior managers is digging his heels in and insisting we stick with macs 'because they look good!' He also claims that there is 'more functionality in PS on a Mac than there is on a PC'.
I am pretty confident this statement is rubbish as I use PS on both Mac and PC platforms and have never encountered anything that one version could do that the other couldn't.
Anyhow, before I go into battle, I first of all wanted to check my theory (there is no difference) but also wanted to source opinions - one argument that has been put forward is that we will be disadvantaging students if we go down the PC route because 'everyone in the industry uses macs' - again my experience says this is not true.
Thoughts, as ever, are always appreciated
Cheers
