[QUOTE="MacTrooper, post: 819355, member: 88921"] Fonzy, Welcome to the forum and thanks to you and your wife for your service to the Nation. I returned in December of last year and bought an iMac last month to replace my laptop which was not fairing well after a year in the desert. The iMac is a great machine. I handles WoW quite well from what I can tell, and of course it does all of the little things like surfing the web and normal office work with incredible speed. Not sure which service you're in, but if is the Army and you think you'd be doing some transferring of work files between work and home (presentations, etc.) you'll find that the iWork suite from Apple will handle those tasks easily enough. If you still want to use Microsoft's Office (since that is what the military uses), you can get it through Microsoft's Home Use program for military members at about the same price as buying a new movie on DVD. Just go to the Army e-Commerce site under the "Self Service" tab in AKO. By the way, from there you can also link to Apple's Gov't employee discount program. Not quite as good a discount as the educational one, but better than full price. Best of luck on your tour and get home safely. [/QUOTE]
