[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 187818, member: 15110"] Here's one [URL=http://www.pocketmac.net/products.html]Pocket PC solution[/URL] for Macs. I would recommend getting a 20" iMac. Compact and has all the features you want for about £1150 fully loaded (I think I did the currency translation right), including a high-quality built-in 20" LCD monitor. You should be able to use your existing external hard drive just fine. If you plan on doing a complete switch, I'd suggest (1) copying all of the files on it to your new Mac, (2) reformatting the external drive to HSF+ (it will do it automatically for you when you reformat), and (3) copying all of your files back to the freshly-formatted external drive. However, if you want to be able to use the external drive on Windows computers on occasion, don't bother doing that; just leave it the way it is. Macs will talk to Windows-formatted storage devices but not vice-versa. [/QUOTE]
