[QUOTE="Crash80, post: 1081480, member: 165030"] Thanks guys! I would love to go to an Apple store and talk with the associates, but I am 3-4 hrs. away from one. We only have best-buy and that is where I have been going to take the iMac for a test drive. Nobody I know owns one, but a few like them. I went back to best-buy to try out the imovie to find out if it would do a lot of stuff that I wanted to do, this way I would know if I was going to have to buy more software like final cut studio. I really like imovie vs. some of the video editing software I have on my PC. So this is a big plus. Anybody like or dislike imovie? Then I was back home and talking with the wife trying to figure out her reasons for not wanting to switch. She says it’s mainly because of pictures. She thinks the mac will not recognize them. I basically told her that no converting is necessary for uploading photos, I even told her how easy iphoto was to use for editing the photos. I just need to take her up there for her to try it out herself. Now one more question, I was thinking of using the iMac to download movies as well either from a DVD or itunes. What upgrades should I look at adding to the iMac if I wanted to watch them on the mac? Video card, 4 core processor, memory, etc? I would hope the machine at best buy would be more than sufficient for what I will use it for, but I just want your opinions. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
