[QUOTE="Gazmaz, post: 388559, member: 30730"] So as expected and as I'm sure you guys get fed up of repeating a lot of stuff which is used in the M$ world (apart from some specific M$ apps) can be used equally in the OS X world. The reason I asked the Q about Firefox was when I first started using it, and went onto the BBC site, (I'm based in the UK if you hadn't already guessed), I had a load of updates to Firefox to get some of the BBC radio and vid clips to work. I was searching trough the Leapard part of the Mac Site so didn't dig hard enough for the user switching page. We use users in XP mainly not to leave lots of apps running but so my other family members don't load something they shouldn't and so they can set up there own Icons desktops etc, so not too many worries about hidden ram usage. neoOFFICE seems to be based on openoffice and seems to be as compatible, so it would seem they should be no worries. I already knew about the SIMS for Mac, but they are not going to be best pleased if all there current setting's are lost, I don't play it, but they have families and neighborhoods built, and I'm sure although not certain they'd have to start again. They and I use occasionally MSN, I assume you cannot talk to someone on MSN using ichat, I'm guessing that both have to be using the same chat app? As for a laptop Vs Desktop, we were currently given an older laptop that is being used more around the house than the desktop is being used, hence my laptop conversion. Having said that I've also been thinking about setting up a "quiet" media machine and that will stay put near the TV, anybody here use a Mac for multi media use? [/QUOTE]
