Hi People. I would like an introduction to the world of mace, e.g. the minimum specs I will need. I basically use eBay, e-mail, spreadsheets, and DTP. I have never used a mac before.

Cheers guys!;D

You'd do fine with a Mac Mini or Macbook then.

I don't really want to spend a lot of money (under £150 for the time bieng, upgrade later maybe!), I just need what to look for, e.g. i know i need 1.5ghz processor and 1gb ram to operate properly. I will probrable buy an emac, imac or ibook off of ebay, but these range from 350mhz to 2.2ghz, and i do not know what to look out for, cheers, Matt.

Mac pro quad 2.66 / G5 1.8
The old G3 Imacs are good enough as an introduction - the all in one triangle shaped ones. Not sure you'd fit 1gb in one, but my old one with 384mb of RAM ran OSX10.3 without too many problems - it wasn't exactly the fastest computer I'd ever had, but I learned enough about OSX to justify buying something a bit spiffier.
They seem to be going on Ebay for next to nothing;
