Another Switcher

Hi all, first post on the board from a new mac switcher
had PC's since 386's back in the win3.11 days, over the past few years i've seen the pc industries ever changing upgrades/headaches/configurations etc...
I work for a major pc retailer in the UK and have seen all the problems, RMA's and so on.

Always looked in on macs but was worried about the switch, i'd seen the imac g5 and it looks stunning to say the least, at bit of cash had come my way and a new apple store opened nearby, got up one day went out and bought the iMac G5 20" widescreen

why didn't i do this sooner!!!!!

for years i'd battled to get a stable machine with stable software, i've got it all here in one unit which is a stunning design piece, my desk feels naked though without big base units and all the other crap thats goes with pc's

i do sports photography for a UK football (soccer) team and the mac has made my job so much easier, photoshop is rapid on this compared to my pc

got an extra 512mb for it and also got the applecare, overall i'm a happy man but regret not doing this sooner.
enough ramblings, thought i'd say hi and share my story

p.s, haven't switched the pc on in 2 days, not missing it yet

Glad to hear of your switch. BTW: What football team do you photograph?

Fc United of Manchester, real fans fed up with overpirced premiership football, the whole glazer takeover pushed enough people to form a new club, back to grass roots football in non league, 3000 fans every game for a league whose average gate is 37 people

Very nice

Welcome, glad to see another smart human that knows whats right!
*cries* Hehe, Welcome to the board!

Excellent photos there!

And welcome to the fold! I am busy writing a book for switchers; the Mac just seems to really lend itself to creative applications but overall it is such a joy to use; and a lot of fun!
