I have been considering a Mac for the first time because I really don't want to go with Vista, but I'm concerned about the learning curve.  I've been using Windows since v3.1 (1993).  Can an old dog learn Mac without losing productivity?

Does MacBook need 2GB to run Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, et al. concurrently?

And remember that Leopard comes with BootCamp included, so you can
boot into XP or Vista as well. If you grab a copy of Fusion you can
even run IE in a separate window, like a native mac app.

My wife sums it up thusly:

"Honey, when you used Windows you spent all day
swearing at the
computer. Then you went back to Linux/UNIX and spent the day
swearing
at yourself. Now you sit on your MacBook and listen to your
headphones."

God, I love that woman.

The one I linked to comes with 2GB installed.

If I had a large budget to blow on a new system, it would be
a macbook.

With the new systems, you can boot XP, you can boot Vista,
you can boot 
Mac, and you can boot Linux.

So you don't need to learn any new tricks, you can start off
with dual 
boot into XP and try out the Mac as you have time.

The biggest benefit I see is with a Mac, you have the
ability to test 
browsers from all 3 operating systems(Windows, Mac, and
Linux) on one 
platform.

That said, I didn't have the budget for a Macbook, so I went
with a 
refurb Dell and have been cursing Vista every since.
