- Your Mac's Specs
- 20" iMac base
First, please forgive my ignorance of Mac world. I am just on the cusp of making the switch from PC. I am looking at the 20" iMac. Aside from the obvious of all new apps and any peripherals I might add, what else should I be prepared to buy?
I am also just thinking of making my own website. I was considering using iWeb, but wondered about .Mac, how is it cost wise compared to say go daddy or something. Also can you register domain through .Mac? Could you create a website using iWeb and publish it through another host?
How capable is iPhoto? I use Photoshop but not nearly to its potential. I really just need something for image retouching and resizing, pretty basic stuff, but more than standard windows stuff will do.
Is it worth waiting for Leopard or will Tiger be sufficient for many years? (I built my PC in 99 and have only added memory, changed graphics card, and upgraded to XP Pro) So you can imagine I like to get some mileage out of my stuff.
Sorry for all the random questions, I am just typing them as they come to me.
Thank you in advance.
