i work for an advertising firm, and i am trying to convince my boss to by me a new mac, but price is always an issue. i was wondering if there is anybody out there that uses an imac g5 for pro uses. what i mean is, i am using after effects, flash, photoshop, and illustrator on a daily basis. sometimes all at once, so i need a machine that can handle it. i would much rather go to a non imac g5, but with price being teh issue and my current gen 1 g4 is about to die on me, i need something fast and affordable. any opinions will be much appreciated and of great help.
