ParticipantWhat software do you want to run? Ask that question first!
I have a G5 and a Dell M60 and both are perfectly good machines.But you really should say what software you want to run first… some work perfectly on both, some work only on one platform, some modelling programs work better on PC (high end graphics cards and better interoperability).
Are you using conceptual packages (SketchUp? Achitectural Studio?)
Drafting? (AutoCad? Vectorworks?)
BIM?(ArchiCad? Revit?)
Presentation?(Max?, Maya?, Lightwave?, Cinema 4D?)If you’re happy that all the software you will want for the course of your studies is available for the Mac (and you can afford an extra 20% for similar spec) then go with it. The OS is sweet and reliable, and the design slick.

ParticipantThere was a fire there as I walked past at about six. It was only starting as I passed but by the time I got to the fire station I could see that at least 2 passers had already informed the fire brigade, who were there in less than 5 minutes.

ParticipantHmmm… have a look at http://www.skyscrapers.com and goto the section on ireland.
Shock Horror Cork is no longer the real capital! Limerick is!
Yes the Claion Hotel is 67m
Cork County hall is 64m
And poor oul’ Liberty hall is only 59m.Also Belfast:
Windsor House =80_m
Belfast City Hospital =76_m
Churchill House =66_m
Belfast Hilton =63_m
BT Riverside Tower = 62_m
06.Divis Tower = 61_mIt also lists some of the proposals for Dublin. The south bank tower would have been the first “official” skyscaper in ireland at 122m (if it ever got going). And Sir John Rogerson’s Quay might just about make the grade at 96m. In any case it now seems unlikely that either will be built as the towers had a high office content and the market is saturated. Another thing that might upset the guys in Zoe/DunloeEwart/OMS is the U2 tower which will be right next door….
