[QUOTE="dazcaz, post: 1004360, member: 131276"] About a year back I bough a 2nd hand G4 emac and G5 PPC from my works. Total price about 100 pounds. Instantly fell in love, though I had been looking to get a Mac for ages. Even the eMac was a dream and it is the base model of it's version. The PPC lived in the living room as a net browser, come media server. Now I have a shiny new (or it was when I bought it) Mac Mini, again a base model, and the plans are afoot to get a white macbook in the near future, when our Acer laptop dies or falls apart. The problem is, once you have owned a Mac, everything else becomes second best. If you like the way a Mac works, and want to try similar on windows machines, give Ubuntu a try. A cracking Linux flavour that's easy to use and is very Mac like. You can make the install CD and try it without installing it on your machine. You can even make the PC dual bootable, so you decide if you want Linux or Windows. It's not OSX but it's better than Windows :) [/QUOTE]
