The difference in price between the 1.8 and the 2.0 DP will buy a very nice monitor. I have always bought the second fastest machine and gotten 3+ years from them. Just how long do you expect to keep the machine?

This thread has been very helpful. I have a first generation icebook. I need more power and hard disk space than it has. A Power Book is the logical choice. There are some good buys on even the 1GHz PBs. That is the same chip I have in my desktop, so they will be equivalent in power. Perfect...

I have all three books. Very good, just at different levels. They also have a "switchers guide" now. would be a good gift for a new Mac owner.:D

Well at least Apple isn't losing $60 a pop on the Xboxes like Micrroshaft is. I personally think they won't ever catch Sony.::ha::

give it some more memory and I'll bet that 10.2.6 will run just fine.

Here's one written by a "switcher" himself: Mac OS X for Windows Users, by David Coursey (Peach Pit Press). That will get you started. Then for some neat "tips" I suggest Mac OS X Killer Tips by Scott Kelby (New Riders) When you are ready for the big time (and I do mean big) there's...

I would add the following as a source for upgrades (and some advice:) http://www.xlr8yourmac.com

Hey don't apologize for your use of english. That will improve with time. I can understand your posts which means you can communicate. Fluency will come eventually. Besides these forums might be a good place to learn about some of the more unusual aspects of english.:D

Well yes Mac users are demanding, but many don't have a point of comparison as you have. I have an iMac identical to yours in the same office with a Dell that has the same specs as your former P4. I agree totally. Welcome to the Mac community.:D

Try Small Dog Electroonics at http://www.smalldog.com They have factory refurbished G4s as well as used G4s. A reputable place. I have bought from them.:cool:

I signed one of those online petitions about the need to go international. There may be some legal reasons for the delay, but I don't think you have much longer to wait. After all there is money involved. <my Amercian Express account shows the effects of one click.> If using P2P bothers you...

I have a three year old CRT iMac which is currently unused. I bought a flat panel last summer. I plan to donate this to a local university which has a Mac lab. The administrator assures me that it will be well used. One less addition to the land fill. So what we think we cannot use, someone...

If you want some mac related humor, try: http://www.crazyapplerumors.com For a mac magazine site try: http://www.macaddict.com I won't even attempt to describe the forums there except to say they do have a good help forum. For a slightly older but fairly restrained set of forums...

I think this one from Logitech is better looking: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/details&CRID=486&CONTENTID=5060&countryid=19&languageid=1 It may not be bluetooth but it will work with your Mac; I know because I own one. Besides Mac users can program this one; I don't...

The 10.2.5 upgrade included greater bluetooth compatibility. The Microsoft product will work with OS X 10.2.5. Concerning the third party dongle, I don't know.

Well there's no accounting for taste. Reminds me of the AOL inteface, dipped in blue paint. But these things can be themed or skinned. The real issue is: what's under the hood? This is an OS after all.

:cool: :D It's a thing of beauty isn't it? Are you going to let your dad use it?

He is correct about the base ram not being user replaceable. So if you want to have a full gig, order it from Apple with 1 512 memory module installed, and then save up to get another 512 module. Those run about $140, at least that is what i paid for one. An alternative for you to consider: I...

Odd thing, when Napster was shut down, CD sales in areas around colleges actually decreased. And, as Jack Hammer and Chevy have pointed out less music was released. How much that is crap? A lot. They just don't get it: people won't buy CDs that are 75+% crap. Then there is that little matter of...

Eons ago when I was about the age most of you are now, we swapped music files using cassette tapes (new then). The response of the RIAA was to get a law passed that added a small fee on to the price of each blank cassette, regardless of wether it was actually used for music. The idea was that...
