So, it became VERY apparent to me this weekend while I attempted to work on my long owed commissions, that I am probably going to need a new computer sooner rather then later..so here's my question for you tech savvy folks out there...
I've ordered my comps through DELL before, but Matthew told me that recently you can only get your Dell with the Windows Vista OS (EW Vista!). Now I've heard rumors that Vista doesn't always run older programs, and this could be very bad indeed. I have my Flash MX 2004 (and Dreamweaver etc etc etc) which I actually PURCHASED, and I don't want to be forced to drop that load of money again..so does anyone have Vista and know if it runs Flash MX 2004?? The studios that I do work for use that program in particular so its VERY important that my new comp be able to run it.
The OTHER alternative would be to get the new Imac, because Matthew is HORRIBLY in love with it, and apparently it can run Apple AND Windows OS? Does anyone have their Imac set up like that? Does it run okay...and even better, does it also run Flash MX 04 (I have heard that flash runs wonky on Macs)? I kinda don't see the point in getting a mac when all our software is for PC (and also I kinda don't like Macs at ALL..'cept they're pretty and their screens are AMAZING)
Soo...any suggestions? Advice? I'm always easily confuuuzed by these things :P ;)
