Novice Seeking Advice on Color Management

One point to cosider in the choice between Mac and PC. I have both, bought Mac because I heard it was SO much better for photography. After a year using a MacBook Pro I cant wait to get my PS's up and running again BECAUSE:

Apple do all the software updates I need by replacing the ENTIRE original, thus a 750mb program requires 750mb to update. If like me you are not in a big City where there are a lot of providers offering broadband at really good prices for unlimited usage you are in real trouble or up for rediculous sums to keep the thing running One Apple upgrade chews through almost a third of a months broadband, at A$40 per 1.5 gig that is a killer. Windows patches are tiny.

Next Apple CONTROL your computer 24/7 and are constantly interfering /snooping. I have tried switching off their remote access, they get around it. I have wiped all cookies, they get around it.....

Next they are now dumbing down just about everything, they call it making the product more user friendly for the mass consumer market. For me as a photographer the losses will eventually impact how I process with Lightroom and Photoshop I believe.

Finally I am constantly finding that there are just SO many things that are no longer supported because the have a commercial time horizon applied..........Thank goodness I shied away from buying a pro tower with the capacity of my PC.......then I would have had a $7,000 boat anchor!! and been in debt for broadband just to keep the thing running!!!!!

Thus for me this unit is an overpriced boat anchor that wont even hold a boat in place.....Will be relgated to being used on field trips to download Cards to Lightroom and no more. When it dies it will be taken to the seaside to help build a reef...........
