Hi, First post.
Ok, i currently have a pc and well, the big grey box is kinda getting me down. apart from primary school when i used an old mac i have never used one, not even messed about on one in pc world. i've upgraded my pc once, and well i dont really want to spend another £500+ upgrading again. i used to play loads of games on the pc but have stoped now because i have a xbox 360, and i'd much rather play on a 360 than pc. so all i really use my pc for is chatting to friends, downloading and listening to music.
Im also doing a home collage course to be a website design manager. i havent started use'in my macromedia tools yet, but when i do, i'd rather do it on a mac since.......its the pro way of doing it? i like to mess around with a digi cam aswell and would like the ability to edit photo's(one day maybe) the pro way?
I say the 'pro way' because everytime i have ever bought a website design magazine, they all use mac's, and everytime i look in my dad's adobe photoshop books again they all use mac's.
i've had so many theme's and shell things on my pc to make it look like a mac, and i just love it, but i want the real thing. i've tried some linux's too but they didnt tickle my fancy.
i've been looking at the imac 2ghz intel dule core one. would this be a good enough mac to start with and also get me started web designing in the future?
One last question. Years ago i wanted a mac, but my friend said "Noooo dont get one of them, you will regret it" he said that pc's take about 2 mins to start up because they load everything up for you, but when u turn on a mac, its on straight away but nothings loaded up. u have to load everything up yourself.
this means nothing to me at all, can anyone shed any light on this?
cheers for any info.
hoping to swap over....
