Hello Everyone.
Just "switched over to the mac" after over 25+ years using a PC.
I initally purschased an ibook 12inch but found it too small and the fonts unreadable.
Bought a 20" imac instead
Got to say its blown me away. I was up and running in no time. Only problem I had was Safari did not show me login page for my linksys router but firefox solved that.
I copied all my Pictures from the PC and they look 100% times better. Just to clear and crisp
Showed off front row to my mates and they where blown away especially when I was playing music and front row was displaying my pictures.
I am seriously thinking of making it a part of the Lounge instead of keeping it locked in a small room upstairs.
Overall i am totally totally in love with it. the quality and feel of the monitor is really good.
BTW apple.com/uk much cheaper than apple stores. The brent cross one I went too would not even price match. But they say i could return it and buy it online.
Quick Questions:
1) When I download apps how do I tell the system to place the *.dmg file in folder specified by me?
2) When It finished downloading it creates 2 icons. One is an icon of a disk drive and the other the *.dmg file. i guess the hard disk drive is the executable.
How do i place it in my applications folder. I copied it across and them dragged the icon on the desktop to the trash can but this deleted it from Applications folder
3) Can I set my Region code to all regions on my superdrive?
4) can I set the administrator username to Root? At moment it seems my username and password are the same as the adminstrators.
5) Anyone know of a Visio equivalent or similar product (free) application that allows me to create diagrams and plan rooms etc.
6) A guy at work is selling his old Powerbook.It does nto have latest OS. Am I able to install the OS i got with my Imac on this Laptop? The laptop is powerpc and mine the Intel.
7) Is .Mac worth the money?
Thanks for all your help.
