[QUOTE="Say_Cheese, post: 187817, member: 15770"] I am new to this board so please bear with me. I am a MS Win XP user and have used PC's all my life but I am getting more and more cheesed off with MS and their OS's! I am looking at going to a Mac and have a couple of questions. I have a Pocket PC running on MS Pocket PC OS. Currently I have a USB docking station that I just drop the Pocket Pc into each night and everything syncs together. Will this be in any way compatible with a Mac or will I have to find another way of doing this? Will there be anyway of copying all 500 odd of my MS Outlook contacts to a Mac or again will I have to do it by hand? What is the best Mac for me to get. I like the look of the G5 and the 30" screen but frankly just over £3000 is a lot of money for me to be spending. I use my current laptop for a lot of web surfing, writing letters and photo editing in Elements 3.0. I occasionally supply a newspaper with some images but otherwise I don't do a lot else. Oh and I listen to my music in iTunes a lot (but I know that that is possible with a mac). One other question all my music and photos are on a 250Gb external HDD (USB2.0). Will I be able to just plug this into a mac and it will work or will I have a problem? Sorry for all the questions but if I do convert then I dont' want to find after a couple of weeks that I have made a huge mistake. Regards Say Cheese [/QUOTE]
