I may be looking to get an iMac soon. I do a lot of photoshop and recording stuff. I have a couple questions.
First off I know they switched to intel, but ive read that most programs dont run well that arent rereleased for this switch. So ill probably wait a while for more programs to be released for the new iMac.
Also I want to know what i would need to record. I know I can use Garage Band but how would i plug in a mic(Shure SM57) with an XLR chord into the mac? Would i just have to get a converter to turn it into a standard 1/8"jack?
Also can i buy a USB mouse with two buttons and a wheel for it?
Ive also read most games dont work on macs, i dont care too much since im more of a console gamer but is this true?
Basically I use my computer for internet, music, photoshop, and schoolwork. Would switching to a mac be a good choice? Also is it worth getting the G5 over the imac?
