[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1398160, member: 38928"] I wouldn't get bogged down in this and I disagree with your first sentence. True, there are instances where it's better to do something the way it was designed. In many cases this can be the best way and sometimes opens you up to thinking about things from another angle. I do, however, believe that that the designed approach doesn't always suit an individuals style, requirement or workflow. But that's OK. There are always alternatives. You do have options. Whether that's a Finder replacement, adding your own content into iTunes, using Microsoft products, using yahoo mail etc etc. I had two MacBooks before buying an iMac. I also had a self-built mid-range gaming PC. The choice to spend nearly £2000 on an iMac was a big one, but not one I regret for a minute. The screen is unsurpassed, the design and build quality superb. The eco-system and software is excellent. Do I do everything 'the Apple way' no. Do I try to, mostly. Throw the tin-foil hat away and look again at the iMac. As a desktop computer does it do everything you need it to do? Does it do it better than it's competition? If you're answering no to either of questions then it's not the right fit for you. All imho. [/QUOTE]
