Been looking at them for a few years now and i finally decided i wanted one,got the IMAC 27 inch one.

You broken it yet?
.

Still in the box matey as i need to wipe this PC clean and the guys on here are telling me that a clean install of Windows Vista will not do what i require.

Falcons on the case to help me.............

I know why you like MACs. Quality pieces of kit in my opinion. Just a tad expensive. We would love one here, but the kids need a computer for school so it'll have to wait for now. They would wreck it!

How good is the picture quality?
.

Once i have set it up on here hopefull today sometime i will let you know,should be no different to what you see on display in the shops .

Will take me sometime to get used of using a Imac thats for sure

In reply to a post by SamsonUK:

I hope you never complain about upgrading, because about all you can do without voiding warranty is upgrade the (REALLY expensive) RAM. Even if you do decide to void the warranty, good luck getting it apart, you'll need a plunger!

It's only expensive if you go to Apple for ram. I got another 8GB for my 27" iMac from Scan for about £71.50, works fine.

I find Windows clunky and obstructive, things are not always in a sensible place. The magic mouse is great, I miss it when I am at work (Linux).

Music to my ears

Last time I had to get RAM for a Mac was a couple of years ago, was just over a hundred for 8GB from crucial, at least it's come down a bit.

As for the OS, I've used both extensively, still prefer Windows 7, just feels a lot more flexible for my needs. Everyone's different I guess.

No further comment on the magic mouse, I really don't like it myself, used it for over a year and just couldn't get on with it, maybe it's just my fat fingers

OH MY FLIPPING GAWD, YOU HAS DONE GONE AN DOOD IT - Coming over to da light side!!


Step AWAY from the console, you are with your true friends now...

Pssst x2: Here's the 'other' reason. Ok, you ready? Right... have you switched before? Check the list below:

* Have you bought an antivirus checker yet? Hows about a firewall? A premier defrag/tweak tool? Hmmm? DON'T BOTHER!!

Read through ALL of it if you want. It helps a lot. Bookmark it and refer to it when you want. It's a good reference point when your bored.
You'll be well looked after.

Install Linux Mint on it

Sorry Guesty my translator is out of town at present so I'm guessing you have a Mac and i am now one of your followers.

Only had it a week and i was on the apple support phone line already having completely mucked up the dock and desktop with dragging and dropping folders that were all in the wrong places and some then refusing to open because daft old me had put them in the trash.

Problem is for some unknown reason which was obviously me i had ended up with a application and Utilities folders on my desktop as shortcuts which i do not want,so dropping them in the trash and opening them up at the proper place caused a issue which has now been solved by some Apple tech guy

Any tips and tricks Guesty will be appreciated if you are a Mac Owner
