Answer 1

most graphic designers are taught on macs and get stuck on them. honestly os aside, windows and mac are the same when you're working in the software. shortcuts will be different and so will some fonts.

macs jobs have died down quite a bit at our company. we used to have 3 macs now were' down to one and considering not getting another mac. we can build a pc that costs 1/2 the price of a new power mac and have better specs.

just pick what ever computer you like.

going by strictly hardware specs, the mac will cost considerably more than and equal pc.

just an fyi, i work prepress and deal with graphic designers daily. over half of them switched to PC since i've been in it. everyone i work with, including myself, started off on macs. i started with os 6.

Answer 2

You're right, if you design business cards for your mom's business then you have designed graphics. A graphic designer goes to school for 4 years after high school. You need to get yourself acquainted with Macs and the Adobe software suite.
