I've generated typeset articles (using PageMaker) and 35mm-slide
presentations (using PowerPoint) on Macs here, and I'm very pleased
with the results.  In the research group I've joined, however, it
may be difficult to talk my way into a new Mac (everyone else is using
Sun 386i's and Intel '386 boxes).

Does anyone out there have experience with document processing on both
a Mac and on an IBM-type machine?  I'd appreciate whatever comments I can
get - I need to know if getting a Big-Blue-Wanna-Be will cost more in
productivity than it saves in purchase price or ability to run some
MBA's spreadsheet.

Thanks,
Dave Nedwek
