[QUOTE="sandyt, post: 353941, member: 28793"] Hi! I'm hoping I can get some info that'll make my decision crystal clear...Here is my story: My husband has agreed to take my 6 month old Dell for his office. I haven't been thrilled with the computer from the beginning (paid too much for what I got, IMO). Anyway, now I'm in the market for a new computer. I was actually thinking of going back to Dell, and getting a cheaper model, which I think will do what I need it to. But then, I thought of mac. Maybe...am I brave enough to step out of my windows nightmare and embrace something different? I'm not sure. I can only afford the cheapest Imac, according to the apple website, which means I'll be getting 1.83 GHz. If I were to buy another Dell, I'd get 2.8 GHz. Unfortunately, these numbers mean nothing to me, except that I'll be getting less with the mac. Are you satisfied with your mac's, or do you wish there was a little more speed to them (that's what these numbers mean, right? Complete computer dummy, here, folks...sorry!). Also, my main use on my computer is Microsoft Office. Mac's can run these, though, correct? And, when I got my Dell, I got a printer with it. Will I have any problems hooking a mac to it? Or do Mac's use the same USB as pc's? (The printer was the best part of my purchase from Dell, so I hope it'll still work!) I really want to get a computer that I'll be happy with for the long haul. I'm really leaning towards mac, but I haven't even seen one in use since high school (15 years ago). So thanks for any help you can give me!!! Sandy [/QUOTE]
