Just won a PCUT 24" on ebay! 1 Mac question

[miked37945 0]

I'm a R/C hobbyist and new to vinyl cutting. I want to make my own graphics for myself and friends. Maybe I'll branch off to profitable ventures after that. I am a BIG fan of eBay, it's saved me hundreds of dollars on my hobby gear and other stuff and my experiences have been very good.

I'm reading topics all the time and learning a lot. I do have one question, My desktop is a Mac and my laptop which I will use for the cutter is a PC, does anybody else have this set-up and which programs do you use to design with on the Mac?

My full time computer is a pc, but sometimes I work on a mac. I use freehand and Illustratos most of the times. What I do is I save in EPS formats (old versions) and Illustrator formats 7 & 8 will aslo work fine in all programs Illustrator, Freehand and Sign Cut, so I mostly save in AI 7, this should work for you.

Thanks for the info & welcome. I just downloaded the Adobe Illustrator trial, now I'll check to see if SignCut has a Demo.
