[QUOTE="The Applenator, post: 234187, member: 18949"] I am about to switch over to a mac probably after the big conference that is going on in San Fran in a couple of weeks. I just want to make sure that if I buy now I won't miss anything "major". 1.- If you are concerned about you word, excel, M$ docs, buy Office 2004 for MAC. 2.- The mac should have no problem recognizing a "usb" plug and play capture card. I would also go to that manufacturer's website and see if there are any driver's or if it's driver's are compatible for a mac. You know mac's have USB ports as well. And they boast to have ALOT of driver's installed into them right out of the box. 3.- I think there are over 114,000 viruses for pc and there was 1 for a mac many years ago. 4.- I have been researching the macbook as well, and haven't come across any major issue's reported on any forums. If there are problems, it only a small amount with issues. Heat can be an issue too, BUT EVERY laptop has that problem! 5.- Any USB or Firewire port printer should work just fine. Grant it I am a noob on these macs (pc user/builder for 12 years), I have done ALOT of reading and visited the Apple store 3 times allready to make sure my wife and I will purchase a MAC in a few weeks. Good luck in your decision. Also use the "search" function for any topics that may have been duscussed. -jeremy- [/QUOTE]
