[QUOTE="CackalackyMac, post: 429841, member: 33041"] Recent switcher here- went from a 15-inch dell inspiron 1100 lappie to the 17 iMac- I'm a pro photographer, and the switch has been incredible so far. The laptop was on death's door just before the mac arrived. I cranked out my last instillation on it, and how I can't see how I operated before. I'll get to the point, though- You might want to install linux on the old machine before officially laying it to rest. Well, if the hdd is borked, then the hdd is borked- but as miffle said, there's always use to having a backup system. Sure, it's not what you're used to- but it's something, and there are definitely times when something is better than nothing. I've got all of my old data off of the laptop, and will be installing Ubuntu as soon as I have the time. Actually, I'll be doing that, in addition to installing a linux distro on my iPaq- I'm holding off at the moment so I don't have to learn three new OS's at the same time. The mac interface is so fluid and natural, though, that it's been quite easy. [/QUOTE]
