What is everything I need (or want) when I buy a Mac?
Hi, I have a desktop and a laptop PC and it's time to update my desktop PC (ie, my desktop is old). I have Vista on my laptop and 98 on my desktop. Anyway I think I'm going to get a Mac (probably iMac majority). What is all the hardware and software recommend getting When I buy my Mac also some side issues (very grateful if you replied, but not necessary. Just saves me doing other questions): 1. When i was looking at the website of Apple iMacs have MacPro and MacMini screens but do not. Why is it? 2. Do you recommend Macs over us? 3. If a disc that I use on my pc (eg Sims 2 DVD version tree or plant) in the mac will it work? 4. Can you get Microsoft Office on the Mac? 5. If so what programs (word? Powerpoint? Editor? Etc) 6. Are there any other software that I recommend buy for my Mac (I like photography and film, but all worth / good) 7. Is the limited Mac software? Thanks
The MacPro and MacMini are single units tower that is connected to additional monitors – either Apple or PC monitor screens generic. Yes, it is recommended instead of your Mac computer, because in reality Macs Run Windows as well – if you are desperate. Your Sims for PC not work on a Mac, but Mac Sims Mac Leopard Guide here http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/ The MacBook also has the multi touch pad mouse http://www.apple.com/macbook/ Mac run Microsoft Office: mac or Apple iWork08 working with MS office http://www.apple.com/iwork me / not to use MS Publisher if you pay me because I use Adobe InDesign, which is much better. No Mac software is not limited. Mac software for photography includes iPhoto, Photoshop, Apple Aperture or Adobe Lightroom or you can download OpenOffice3.0 http://openoffice-software.com/new/home/?affebnid=124&gid=&ovid=&yid=&msid=&hop=howgood that is native to Mac and FREE – it works with MS Office too.

Apple iMac 20" LCD, 2.66GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB HD $1099.99 Theres no room for a tower anymore. We live in the flat panel age of computing. No more can we afford to waste precious precious space with things like a desktop tower. So here is an apple iMac. yeah, its cool alright. its got 2gb of ram and a whopping 320gb hard drive. That ought to be enough to hold all the videos of your cats. You can watch it in good speed too cuz it has a 2.66 intel core 2 duo processor with 1066 mhz frontside bus and stuff. All that is stuffed behind a 20 inch widescreen so there is no room wasted with a tower. Enjoy, Uncle Vic. |

Apple iMac 24" LCD, 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM 320GB HD $1199.99 Mac remembers the old days when he was the underdog. He would always get picked last for kickball and PC would always come and steal his milk money, but that was over 10 years ago. Mac grew up and now, he skipped his colorful transparent plastic body for a sleek brushed aluminum. He outgrew the old CRT monitor and got a nice 24 inch widescreen glass covered LCD screen. He looked good and now, with 300gb of hard drive space and 2gb of ram powered by a 2.66 ghz Intel core2duo processor, he was ready to tell PC to go stuff it. PC was still fat, holding everything on a separate desktop unit while Mac integrated everything in an all in one unit. PC, Mac told himself, your time has come. Enjoy, Uncle Vic. |
