I have joined the dark side
After many years as an anti-mac IBM guy, I have finally succumb to the temptation. It wasn't so much the OS that tempted me, or the software. I see flaws in both but there are certain benefits I'm sure. But rather, it was the design of the all-in-one solution that is elegant, sophisticated and packs a solid machine underneath. None of the PC manufacturers have come close. So I have gone from building all my own machines, to a machine that I can't modify. But, as many of you know, I use my machine in my living room so I am looking to reduce the clutter of wires and want something that looks good. I can appreciate good design, and apple nailed it.

I went with the 24" with the wireless keyboard and upgraded the HDD to 500 gigs.

We'll see how happy I am with the move in the long term.

Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead.

I've never really gone the PC route, I'm a Mac lifer for better or worse. I hope you'll be happy overall. Nothing's perfect, but some things are pretty damn slick.

LMAO!!!

As to the Mac, it's a nice machine -- personally tho since I do PC gaming, it is completely useless. But for everything else it seems to work real nizzzzzze

With how buggy Vista is, I kinda wish we'd made the same move, but we couldn't resist the fact that we could spend far less and get much more storage and speed.

I'm curious what buggy you're having with Vista. I've been running it for quite a while now and haven't run into a single one and at one point had the machine running for 48 days before a software install required a reboot.

I do like the concept behind the Mac that NM bought and when we moved recently I did look into something similar for PC without success (we've gone back to computers in the living room). But in looking at it in person at the Apple store I don't care for it visually in person. Something about it just looks toylike to me.

Plus, the irony would ignite the house if, now that Lani has made the big switch from a lifetime of Apple usery to PC, I were to go the opposite direction.
