[QUOTE="Zora, post: 398875, member: 31523"] Dear viewer, Surely you, along with many others, have also seen those PC versus Mac commercials. The person representing the PC is suffering from its inefficiencies, while the person representing the Mac does not. I am just a complete ''n00b'' when it comes to Macs, but these commercials make it look obvious that there is absolutly no reason to remain a PC user. Or at least, that's the imagine they are trying to convey.. Let me say that I have been using Windows for almost ten years now and I'm about to buy a new computer. Lately I've really been concidering my options and the 24 Inch Imac is one one of them. Despite the commercials, I am absolutly terrified to switch to an unknown system. I have never used an Imac before and I'm just not sure about anything really. I have read many things about the Imac 24. Many stories that seem almost too good to be true. But If all these stories are in fact true, then why doesn't everyone have an Imac already? Why do people prefer PC's? Surely there must be something wrong then! Does anyone have reasons why I should NOT switch to an Mac? For instance: Are PC's not easier when it comes to changing Internal hardware such as the Hard Drive or the graphics card? You can't open the Imac just as easy as a PC. (Correct me if I'm wrong..) Also: I've been to apple.com and I visited the configuration screen where I was able to assemble the Imac 24 inch system and.. I can't say I'm really satisfied with the Hardware they have to offer. With Videocard's such as the 8800 GTX, the 7300/7600 cards seem like a major step back. And what about the Software? I mean.. there must be software out there that does not run on an Imac. And come on!! No viruses? Na-ah! That's not possible. No way! :| What is the reason that Macs don't get viruses? What other threats do Mac users have to face if not viruses? Once again: I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Macs, so I don't know anything. Which is the reason why I ask these questions. Thank you for reading and for helping out. Sincerely, Zora.
