Xmarks and Apple

[Graham]

I have a new way of looking at xmarks as of today, my first iMac arrived.
If it works out I plan to change all my computers to mac, certainly very different!

[McMurdo]

I hope you enjoy it congratulations on the new computer.

[GMan]

You will enjoy it Graham.

Having owned macs for over 10 years, and still owning 6, only ever doing one HD wipe, and I probably didn't have to, I think I can say that you will enjoy it more.

At work, I get to use the top of the line windows HP thing, most times my 2000 Pismo smokes that.

Does one not have to replace all their software when switching to Mac?

I am a shameless Mac advocate. My current machine is am EMac that's something like five years old and I have never had a whit of trouble. We have three of the 12 inch Mac laptops in the family...the small ones because the idea of a laptop is portability not size. There's a Bondi Blue IMac nearby that's occasionally put into service...I can't remember how old that one is.

All we do is update the operating system now and then.

There seems to be an impression that Macs are so simple that they can't be really "heavy duty"....puh-leeeese!

You'll enjoy this.

Best

Currently using a 1999 vintage B&W G3 minitower... Happily runs either Mac OS 9.2.2 or Mac OS X 10.4.10. Graham, you're going to be a lot happier, using the iMac, than you've ever been with the old PeeCees...

I bought my first Mac as a result of working tech support for IBM, on Micro$oft's operating systems. I have never looked back. I'm still using my seven year old iBook, and my four year old eMac, and am only beginning to look for a newer machine now that Hamner and my uncle are flaunting to me that mine are not fast enough to run World of Warcraft.

Welcome to the light side of the force.

Thats great to hear Graham.
I got my 1st Mac last October and now Patrick my son has a 17" iMac too. They really are great Computers. Let me know if you want some tips

Just don't rename or move your home folder...I did that the first day I had my iMac... Trust ME Don't

That would be the point, really - use well-designed software that WORKS, instead of kludged-together nonsense.

And, if you must run in Windoze, Parallels or Bootcamp will do that for ya.
