[QUOTE="wvmac, post: 71956, member: 8595"] I have two questions that require your "Mac expertise" for a Mac-wanna-be: 1) I have a friend that just got a new G5 and wants to sell me his G4 that he has rarely used (as he is on his ibook & his PC all the time) ...and, as I am a PC person really wanting to get into Macs-I need your Mac advice!!! Is this a smart move for me: G4 Power Mac two 450 MHZ cpu's, three 64 Bit PCI slots,768 MB of Ram,40 gig / 7200 RPM HD,DVD drive,56K Modem,100 MB Network,2 Fire wire,Apple Optical Mouse,17 Inch Apple Trinitron Studio Display OS X.3 "Panther", Apple Pro keyboard... will throw in more memory, a CD burner, & software as well- macromedia suite, microsoft office stuff etc.... To cut to the chase-He is asking $500.....Should I bite on this or just go ahead and get serious and go for a new iMac G5????? Help! 2) If I want a new Mac should I order it online from Apple or go to the Apple Store to get it?????? 3) Of course a third option would be to get the used G4 to keep my PC company at work and get the G5 for home use....decisons, decisions! ;) ( Oops! this should be in the switchers forum, right? Sorry! ) [/QUOTE]
