new here

hi, im new to the forums. im soon considering switching from windows to mac (im a windows user) im getting sick of windows. i've already tryed linux, that wasnt really my thing. any suggestions you have would be greatly welcomed, thanks.

Start by listing what you use a computer for, if you require portability, and what your budget is.

I know the name sounds bad... I couldn't fit an "s" on the end

I like that.. Its true, keep your windows machine becaues you never know when you might want to use it again. Mac is amazing but every once in a while you do find a program that is only avaiable on windows or runs better on windows, pluss its always better for the games.

I dunno about that.... I haven't fired up my Windows box in a very long time. Not even at work since i brought in my G4

thankyou very much. i wouldn't mind going for the iBook, i could move it around the house and not be sitting at the same desk all the time. plus i do some occasional lan partying and the portability would come in handy. we mainly play battlefield 1942, and theres a port for mac thats compatible with windows versions. i mainly use my computer for internet and photo editing, and the occasional game.

Just wondering, what kind of job do you have that lets you bring in your own comp to work on? Sounds like a great place to work.

I work in the R + D department at GSK I really only use the computer for lotus notes (I amazingly persuaded the department to purchase me a copy of it for Mac.)

i'm considering the iBook, should i go for the current G4 or at least wait untill the intel iBooks come out and take a look then?

intel is mid to late 06 and 07
