On the Mac I don't believe there can be many reasons to keep any eps
files, unless it's to be compatible with some other software and/or
collaborators. I tail all my plotting procedures with a command that
SPAWNS epstopdf to convert the postscript graphic to PDF and then
delete the postscript. The PDF filesize is always smaller, sometimes
by a huge margin, and, of course, the PDF graphic can be used in
Pages, Keynote, TeXShop, Omnigraffle, etc.
