Oh, I am so envious, eoe! Those flat screen Macs have such crisp and clear
color, you're going to love it. Enjoy and make us at least a picture, will you?
I still love my iMac, and my iPod, and the Mac works really well, and still amazes with how easy it to use. I'm a real 'puter-illiterate, that's why this rocks my boat. But...
...I tested the new MacBookPro in a store the other day, shheeeiiit, that was smooth! And goodlooking too! Almost made me wanna upgrade! Nemmind, gotta wait a while, I guess...
I know, bigdice, I went to an Apple store the other day and was positively drooling. I want I want I want...
I was there to get my eMac fixed, though, and it's still having problems, so I'll wait 'til that's settled before I decide how enthusiastic I am about the brand.
OK guys, I have a choice to make. (I'm quite excited)
Macbook Pro 2.33 (older version) $3299 aus (reduced from 3999)
Macbook Pro 2.2 (latest version) $2899 aus
It's for ProTools / Sibelius audio and midi on external firewire with lots of speed needed for plug-ins & synth processing.
(I have wifi "n" already at home)
(I can have the older 2.33 NOW, may have to wait weeks for the 2.2)
I don't know enough about the 2.2 being better than the 2.33, but it seems it would be, and worth the wait...
I am considering to switch to a Mac once my Dell keels over, which will be within a year I think, but.... I purchased Microsoft Office Professional 2007, and I purchased Dreamweaver, and some other smaller things (antivirus, PDF transformer, this, that...). I have all the license keys stored, but I wonder would any of those work on a Mac? If not, I just can't go that route I think.
Microsoft office and Dreamweaver are definitely available for MAC,
actually my latest edition had Microsoft already installed, and after a 30 days
trial date, I could have purchased it (I don't need it though).
So if you enter your license number, you're good to go.
Antivirus is built into all Macs there is no additional antivirus needed.
PDF transformers usually work too.

Have either of you worked on both a Mac and a PC?
The reason I asked is because I have a Mac and all my relatives have PC's. Some of the cds that are sold now will work on either
computers but the programs aren't the same. Take Quicken for instance, on a PC different wording is used and the menus are
different. Also, the payroll program I use and the payroll program my sister uses are the same program, but on my computer reports
are different than on hers. There are other differences, but off hand I can't think of any specifically.
I work solely on Macs, so I don't know if the programs are slightly
off. In essence it doesn't matter, as long as the outcome is the same and
software can be exchanged on both, Mac and PC.
The outcome is the same, the problem is finding where things are and in which menu. That gets frustrating for me. I also have the habit of just clicking the mouse and on the PC I have to right click sometimes but I still click on the mouse first. Never fails.

You would have to repurchase versions for the Mac, unless you use virtualization software or dual-boot (which is what I'd recommend).

What did you get, soz?
I got a iMac G5, 17 inch screen, the basic version to cut cost, but I added a bluetooth module to it.
Now I can take care of calendar and adressbook on the mac,
and then send it to my cellphone.
Just trying out some of the neat features on iPhoto, iTunes and so such.
What amazed the most was; after I unpacked it took me the whole of ten minutes
to have it up and running, including surfing the net!
Try that on my old PC!
Y do thay use the letter "
i " so much ??
Does it represent something ?

I notice David that the majority of your posts are indicative of either senile dementia or psychopathology, why is that?

True. Dreamweaver for the PC will not download on a Mac.
Does anyone know whether the " i " stands for something in Apple Computer equipment ?
David
When the first iMac was produced the "i" stood for Internet, and subsequently it became part of the Apple trademark.
iTunes
iPhoto
iPod
etc. all are in relation to the internet.
Of course, the "i" could stand for innovative as well.
"i" is the universally acknowledged symbol for the "Internationale" which everyone knows is the theme for the socialist/communist movement to destroy america.
The bottom line - no matter what - is always to destroy America.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away - the "i" is the "1" (one = an!) in Roman numerals.
