To hell with Microsoft and their crappy, horribly written bloated software... I'm a mac user now. At least mac works as I always like to say... Windows crashes so much and causes so much problems that some people start thinking it's a hardware problem... As far as I'm concerned, Windows doesn't really operate the machine... :roll:

First thing I noticed when I loaded Mac OS X 10.4 for the first time is a sense of security. It loads fast, every thing you do is applied instantly, no reboots, no crashes, and an awesome sense of trust, cleanliness and security. I will be upgrading to 10.5 when that comes out... I also was a Windows Vista Post RC1 beta tester being an MSDN member... I'll be posting my true opinion out Windows Vista later on

Slow down...Too many of you are making the swith too, too fast. Pretty soon all the viruses are going to be Mac based. :)

Macs aren't as pricey as they were. The mac mini's are cheap, take little space, and are very capable. i know i have one : )

amen

i gotta intel mini about month ago and im say im glad to have made that switch...at first I was reluctant but aftter reading reviews and getting extremely pissed at my previous pc, the switch was made. and you my friend have summed up everything i have experienced with my first mac, too

anyways, im glad to see more mac-oriented ppl...and lmao no, viruses for macs aren't created as much because they are more extremely difficult, not because ppl dont know about them...:p

And if you need any advise on stuff you'd like to do, don't hesitate to ask me ! You won't have anymore to research this crappy drivers or 3rd party program all the time like on Windows ! In a mac, the main features are built-in.

Just to give a preview to the person who still don't know Mac OS X yet, it allows : it can :
- do a very quick research- 5 sec max for ANY kind of research - according to many criteria in just clicking on one magnifying lense (Spotlight)
- order your own photo album, calender, gift card (iPhoto)
- have very quick access to web based apps like stocks, weather, translator (Widget)
- send SMS ( Adress Book )
- video conference with more than 1 other fellow (iChat)
- download for free podcast about cookery, news, etc. ( iTunes )
- talk to your computer ( Speech pref )
and many other nice stuff !

WTG black !

Probably a mini. I havent checked them out in a long time but i believe they come with core 2 duos and plenty of connections compared to the first gen minis all for a starting price of 600 bucks (i may be wrong though they might of upped it to 700 but still check them out on the apple website).

well the cheapest would be the mini which just comes with the pc itself. not a mouse/keyboard/monitor. the next step up as a desktop solution would be the 17" iMac and i'd probably go for one of those if you were interested in macs, but not sure if you'd like them / not want to invest a lot into them. the mini i believe is like $599, the 17" iMac is $999

imac would probably be best since it comes with everything and has good specs for a decent price (ive been tempted even though i already own 2 macs). but mini is great for saving space and portability.
