Looks good... I'm not a big fan of that new monitor style though. I prefer the Cinema Display style.

One thing I notice on newer macs is the text... looks nicer

now you can be at peterska2.co.uk and vb.org and another site all on the same view
:rolleyes:

yeah, it's really handy being able to multifunction. My desk isn't big enough now and I can't spread out onto the table next to it at the min becasue the christmas tree is in the way.

why choose an imac over a pc anyway ?
what are the advantages and what can the imac do that a pc cant do ?
Are is it that when u an imac user u part of the privledged club ?

PC wins hand down all time to me.

macs just do everything without all the messing about that you have with windows. I still have windows, and the other computer (still in pieces and waiting for a monitor) is a windows xp machine, but for most useage I prefer a mac. I guess it's just like some people prefer linux.

The only thing thats kept me from buying a mac is having to convert all my software licenses to work on the mac OS...too much money to justify it so I just went with a new dual core xeon, 2 nVidia FX3450 PCI Express cards SLI'd together and added 5gb's of ram...oh and the XP Pro x64 OS is nice too...all ready for Vista :)

on topic - nice machine Kerry-Anne, I know you're thrilled to just be off 95 ;)

Macs are just awkward machines I will rarely use my mac at home but have to use it for work. Awkward things, I've never liked them. Luckily I got my mac free from work even though it's gathering dust. :)

Well there are opensource alternatives like OpenOffice and the GIMP (at least, I think it has a mac version)... But you can also run bootcamp/parallels desktop and run Windows (on the Intel macs)... :D

No need to pay all that money for a "dumbed down" mac. Part of the allure is the OS, plus bootcamp is still in beta I believe.

Mac's looks good (never had one though). But I like the look of the OS. But Vista is due out which is very much alike to a mac OS than any over Windows version before.
