Well, even though this feels like a brag page & I can easily gloat about how much I've invested in Apple, my gear is necessary evil for graphic design.

To start with, I'm running a dual 2Ghz Power Mac G5 (one of the last Power PC chips before the intel switch), with 8GB RAM; connected to two 20" Apple Cinema Displays. Love this system, still lightning fast with Leopard & Adobe CS3.

Just recently purchased a 17" MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo w/4GB RAM & the high-res matte screen. I upgraded from a 15" Power Book... & WOW, what a difference!! I don't mind lugging around that little extra weight for all that screen architecture.

Of course, I have my 80GB iPod video (my third, & definitely not my last iPod). I'm still waiting for the arrival of the iPhone to Canada.

Aside from that, obviously I've invested in some Apple software, such as Final Cut Express (not ready for the full version yet), and Aperture (one of the best products ever!!!) which works beautifully with my new Nikon D300.

Well, that about sums up the system here, and honestly, even if I wasn't a designer, I'd probably still own most of this stuff... just wouldn't have the advantage of writing it all off on my taxes.
