[QUOTE="Aqua, post: 641178, member: 37545"] You also might want to check out [url]http://www.apple.com/macosx/[/url] and [url]http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/[/url]. I think what I find/found most appealing with Mac (and this even goes back to the short time with OS 9) is what you pay for in the PC world you don't in Mac. Voice is standard, no need for crossover ethernet, all packages of Mac Leopard are $129 (I think) a lot more useful and neat things come with Mac OSX. It comes with widgets, but when I went to find more it was just like the firefox extensions list lol all kinds for many diff things (some are useless or silly lol).
