I am interested in using a micro for some design projects I am working
on with a friend of mine. We are trying to decide whether we should buy
Macs and use a product like MacDraw, IBM (MS-DOS) compatible micros and use
something like AUTOCAD, or perhaps the new HP IPC, which I hear has a pretty
good graphics capability.
I would like to have something that is transportable, so I can use it to
communicate with my office when traveling. I realize that this
capability may limit me to either the MAC or the HP though, since using
an IBM transportable machine would still require the schlepping around of
a high-resolution monitor.
I definitely need something with an object-oriented CAD program available
for it. Something like MacPaint, while lots of fun, is rather limited.
Any comments on this subject would be appreciated.
