I have a unique opportunity to start out with a clean slate. I had a fire a few months back and lost EVERYTHING, and I am really looking forward to getting back into fantasy map-making. Since I am starting from scratch, I am considering a Mac for the first time, because I understand they are better for graphics design. I was happy using PS and Illustrator on my self-built PC, but since I don't really game anymore, I don't see much of a need for sticking with IBM-compatibles, and having a more stable system sounds like a great stress-reliever.

How do other folks here feel? What do you guys use?
