Apple

[aposhark]

Apples great in the Home but not so good when they get on to bigger networks from what I have seen and experienced. But I doubt that's a worry to you Apo

As they are "closed" don't expect especially while under warranty to have the chance to upgrade and fiddle as much as you can with a typical PC. But many prefer to leave as is anyway even if a PC so no great worry to most..


Do make sure what programs you use are available for most people that's not an issue for many now.

If its user friendliness you want then Apple is great but do check what PC you can get for the same money.

I know some have come back to PC's now Windows 7 is with us for various reasons but most of them are those who like to fiddle more with their puters

Also do make sure you have AV so often Linux and Mac users dont realise they are passing on Viruses which only affect PC's. Malware is now starting to affect Apples so be aware and careful

Thanks for the reply somebody
The demo blew me away, but I am a tech (used to build pc desktops before, only for myself mindyou) and I always like to get my fingers dirty.
I asked if I could swap out the HDD later and was warned about warranty etc.
I may have to leave my fingers on the keyb only and just enjoy the iMac if and when I get one.
There are some good Apple forums so I will continue browsing.
One thing though, the store person told me that trojans/worms/viruses were not a problem with iMacs because of the OS. Is this true?

Thanks again
