[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1371017, member: 214663"] If my daughters bought me an iMac as a gift I would be beside myself with joy! Seriously, our iMac is used for my business most of the time (for all the technical reasons listed above) and occasionally by my wife. We both have unfettered access and have never bothered setting up separate user accounts because our levels of usage are so different. It stays in the same place all the time looking reassuringly expensive and is permanently on (or in sleep mode) hard wired to the mains. An ExHD is permanently hooked up for TM back up, which is almost never the case with a notebook. There are no battery or charge issues, it never leaves the house or gets moved around getting bumped or dropped. We can both view and discuss things on the display without clashing heads and straining eyes, which is a boon when you get to our age. It doubles up as TV/DVD/Radio/Music player sometimes which is viewable and audible from a distance. It is more comfortable to work around. Regards, Liam [/QUOTE]
