[QUOTE="UberMousE, post: 31233"] I made the switch to Mac a week ago and have had nothing but trouble with it! I ordered a G4 DP1.25/256/80/Combo which got delivered on Thursday 29/4/2004. I upgraded to Panther and installed a few apps and finally started migrating my data from my windoze box. Came back to check and the Mac had crashed!!!!!! The screensaver had frozen and a message popped up to tell me to hold the power button in for 5 seconds....... So I did...... Then it wouldn't switch on again........ or make any sound :eek: ....... My hopes were dashed! To make it worse this was Friday evening, my bank holiday weekend of Mac fun had been cancelled by the failure of the Mac!! And even worse, the suppilers were closed until Tuesday!! :mad: But in all fairness, they arranged to collect it the same day (Tuesday), phoned me the next day to tell me the motherboard had failed (Wednesday) and arranged a replacment by Friday for a pre 12 delivery on Saturday. So here I am, having had a small taste of OSX I CANNOT WAIT for my new one to turn up. I'm sat here surrounded by an Airport Card, Pioneer 107 Superdrive, 2 Maxtor 160Gb hard drives and 1Gb of RAM that I've bought whilst waiting for the thing to turn up, posting this message in the vain hope that it'll arrive now! I know I've only had a day and a half of Mac time but I can't see me returning to Windoze anytime soon! :) [/QUOTE]
