Apple iMac

[WhiteGTI]

Yeah once you get one you'll be hooked! We've got 4 Macs between 2 of us here at home!

Also with an iPhone, IMO it makes a lot of sense to have a Mac. Everything becomes co-ordinated so well between computer and phone. I'm not sure how the two work with a Windows machine, but I guess it helps that the Mac has the exact same applications to the iPhone!

mmmmmmm macs 

i was PC for years, always worked for myself running my empire 

didnt see the point in changing, all it took for me to see the light was another windows crash too many loosing £££'s of work... again

takes a little while to get comfy in the mac environment but once youre there my god its worth it!

everything works as fast and as efficiently as the first day i powered up....... yes really! faultlessly and better than the PC ever was

i kick myself for not changing sooner...and nothing will make me swap back!

as a graphic designer its just epic! a whole leap in a better direction...

do it. do it now.

God-damn hippies. It's like a freakin' love-in around here. Need to draft some boys in to help clear it out.

....That's exactly it. Way back in Californian geek's garages the Mac was developed for the creative industries and the PC for the number crunching business world.

Windows OS has greatly improved recently with version 7 but it hasn't got the soul and spirit of Apple products.

Communist propaganda! The Apple ][ was originally sold as a kit for homebrew hackers, as was the Altair 8800 which ran Microsoft's BASIC. They were both for the geeks, the creative types, the hackers! The dread calculating machines that IBM sold for business were room-sized affairs, whereas the "micro-computer" was thought to be just for kids messing around at home.

....Yeah, that's what I said. I just used different words.

this is something i have been interested in doing.  however it is quite a hard choice moving from something that you know to something that  you dont.

My work computers exclusively use microsoft office for all our work etc.  Does this work on the Mac as well.  Also can you fit HDMI cables into them to stream films to your TV etc.  What about ani-virus software etc.  I think my bigest doubt would be on what software is available for the macin comparison o the P. is it the same?

[WhiteGTI]

You don't tend to need Antivirus software on Macs. There is software available but I don't know of anyone that uses it.

Running a global estate of firewalls, we've got all sorts of kit as you'd imagine - in the last 4 years I've worked for this client, the Mac's we have doing some serious stuff have never failed. Everything else bombs and bugs like hell.
