- soon to be: 20'' 2.16ghz 1gb ram 250 harddrive.
It's been about 28 hours actually but anyway.
i bought the Imac, 17inch 2ghz, 1gb ram and 160gb hard drive.
since getting it out of the box i have downloaded quite abit, transferred my jpegs and mp3's from my p.c (actually still doing it) and i have to say i love my mac it was very straight forward to setup, apart from a few bumps in the road, properly installing something, and setting up a router. there as not been anything else.
I am finding it hard to get past my pc paranoia though and have been reading up on the mac firewall, i didn't realise that the firewall is turned off as default so i turned it on, put in stealth and firewall logging a kept udp though. i was reading the mac firwall antivirus thread and it was useful but some of it was abit back and forth i understand that it is personal preference, but i'm still confused about the firewall.
so i was just looking for some more advice about the firewall, i have set it to on and have enabled firewall logging and enabled stealth mode.
i'm i safe enough, i don't bank online. but i do use paypal and don't want someone getting hold of that. so what else can i do.
