[QUOTE="Xager, post: 696021, member: 61825"] Thank you for the reply louishen. I have read a bit about the fact apple allows user to purchase the OS alone and install it on any PC they have. I may have misunderstood. It isn't too much of a problem for me to get a new Mac as I need a decent machine to be able to run several of my programs. My current PC can only just handle my work load and is starting to drive me insane so I was really looking at getting either a new windows machine or changing over to a decent Mac, though I may get a cheap refurb to get the feel of the OS. Good news about adobe products, I spent a small fortune on them and wasn't too chuffed about the possibility of having to get them again, but if I can crossgrade them it would be excellent (means more money I can spend on my final machine :) ) The games is not my highest priority, though it is nice to know I can use that Boot Camp program to run windows when I need it. Apple really has thought of the user, unlike Windows. One of my biggest concerns is that I would not find the bundled applications very good. I have spent some time using Linux (Ubuntu), which I know isn't all that much like Mac, but was the closest thing I could find, but I found the programs to be rough and no where near what I needed. I have looked around and found a few different programs which are for Mac but also have Windows compatible counterparts and every one of them has been a great experience. Thanks again for you reply louishen. Any input from others is still very much appreciated. And any common bugs and little bits that often stumble new comers would be great to hear about. One other thing I would really like to know: I am currently running 3 monitors 2 19" wides (1 vertical for website viewing) and a 22" wide for my main, I am not sure as to what I will get for my Mac but can anyone "vouch" for dual monitor support? It is probably the most important thing I need to know right now, I am pretty happy with all the reports and info I have found and am eagerly looking through the shop for what I will get. So, yeah, any info on dual monitor bugs/setup problems/info would be awesome! Regards, Xager [/QUOTE]
