[QUOTE="Montie Da Champ, post: 531938, member: 41874"] Hello Kiwi, I know exactly how you feel. I am 15 years old and have used windows the past 5 years at least. I have always been great with computers and right now i am big on graphic designing and web designing. My parents, for christmas, are deciding to buy me the 24" iMac and with my own money i am going to upgrade it to 4gigs of ram. My advice to you... if you don't have more than 5 windows open at a time or you don't watch dvd's regularly, don't spend that extra $500 on the bigger screen. As for me, i always have at least 5 IM windows open, itunes, photoshop, myspace/facebook all that teenage junk so i wil probably benefit from the larger screen. you probably are thinking, boy what a spoiled kid ^^ thats ok though haha since i don't just use my computer for crap stuff, i actually am working towards getting a job as a graphic designer/web page designer. You will also find that most software nowadays is being made compatible with mac's. And as for your Paint Shop Pro Situation... There is a cheap solution to this,Photoshop Elements 4.0 Now, i'm not sure what you do with your PSP but elements should be a good all around image editing program. but if you are looking into graphic designing. I think photoshop is the way to go. You can try to look for deals on eBay for the software as i'm sure many people are selling off serial keys for the program.

Dreamweaver is compatible with mac. You should send an email to support to see if you can trasnfer over your dreamweaver from your pc to your mac since it is a pretty expensive program. You won't be needing any alternatives to those spyware progrms either... =D good luck with your new mac!!! Hope my essay of a response helped.
