This has just always been my side of the question (anything related to art, i.e. video, photo work, audio, printed publications, etc.).
I don't have any real experience to back either side with, although I did work with a video guy once that absolutely adored how his PowerMac handled video.
If you don't know, this was discussed in the 11-17 podcast, and I'm curious as to what people think?
