Which one would you recommend, Mac or PC for web designers?
Its all about finding something you are comfortable with, and you cant really decide until you have been on both for a reasonable ammount of time. I guess its like buying a car, you only realy decide how confortable it is once you start using it day to day, i guess it works here to. I think at the moment i am most confortable using a PC but would really like to open up to using a Mac extensivley in the near future.

What do you think are some problems that graphic designers face these days?
I'd agree with the above observations, most of the computer graphic packages have made things easier and have knocked away the need for training and specialization, resulting in a market flooded with all degrees of talent, good, bad, and ugly. Also, I think that most folks comissioning graphics work are more concerned that it is effective for its intended use, rather than than the fostering any artistic vision. The result is a cut-price market where it is hard to distinguish the worth of your work over others and even harder to demand a reasonable price for something when other folks will gladly undercut anything you ask for.

Who are the "hot" designers now?
Jorge Linares and Mary Luc from Weevox are among the best in the biz. I also suggest reading this short thread , it may prove helpful.

Web developers who seek designers?
Ed is an all round web expert and does some development and some applications. He would happily admit that he isn't a good look and feel man so he would prefer to work with good designers who understand the design differences between the web and print.

Pro Web Designers?
I've taken classes in web design, but I'm not that great at it. I can come up with the cool graphics, but piecing it together sucks!
