[QUOTE="ajwms, post: 60918"] So, for the past 13 years I have been a PC user; MCSE, A+, yadda yadda yadda. Several years ago, when I saw OSX, I thought "Cool, a unix workstation with a great looking GUI." Then I began checking out iLife and really started becoming interested. When Apple came out with the PowerMac G5 line, I began to start lusting over them. Then the iMac came out, and I knew I had to have one. My lovely wife bought me a new iMac as a birthday, Christmas, and every holiday for the next year. Specs: 20" iMac with 1GB memory, 256GB hardive, airport extreme, bluetooth keyboard and mouse and Final Cut Express. She also purchased the airport base station with airtunes. What a cool product that is! All I can say about the new addition to our family is WOW! I did have a slight hickup during the setup procedure; the iMac didn't want to recognize my bluetooth keyboard. Easily fixed by tilting the back of my keyboard towards the iMac so that the iMac could discover the keyboard. I also managed to lockup OSX hard (something my Mac buddies say is quite a feat) and ended up having to power-off the iMac. Force quit, logout, reboot all didn't work. Whoever came up with the saying "It just works" is absolutely correct! Everything I need to do as a power user is here; it is just a matter of finding the button / icon / menu item. The design and engineering of the iMac is extremely impressive. Having only a power cord as a wire is just really cool. The speed of this OSX is also impressive. I can reboot OSX and come back to the desktop faster than I can revive my XP work laptop from sleep mode. For the first time in a very long time, I'm actually enjoying working on a computer! Sorry for the long post; as you can tell, I'm quite excited about my new iMac! aw p.s. Getting used to a one button mouse is quite easy. However, I can see where a two button mouse could make life easier. [/QUOTE]
