[QUOTE="Atomic Samurai, post: 334347, member: 27744"] Hello everybody, I just purchased (and recieved) an imac online. I purchased a mac because I want to get into filmmaking and discovered that if you weren't using a mac you were at a great disadvantage. So I used my tax return to go whole hog, so to speak. I have to say I am really impressed so far and can see why everybody loves it. I do plan one taking one of those one on one classes that the Apple Store offers in a few months (mostly to get well versed in final cut express) but in the mean time I have a few or two. First, Should I download Windows media player for mac or just the Flip4mac program? Second, Safari is very different from IE, Should I stick with it and get to know it better or is there a better browser? I used Firfox before on Windows XP and didn't really care for it, Is Opera or Camino better? Third, Should I download bootcamp and run Windows as well? I really don't want to because I feel as I get better on the mac I will get further away from the PC format until I don't need or even want It anymore. Any advice would be appreciated. I am really looking forward to better understanding everything this baby can offer. This forum is probably the best one I have found everybody is really helpful and informative. Thanks [/QUOTE]
