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

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.

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)...

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.
