    iMac

    Has anyone out there any iMac experience I'm thinking of investing (Poor choice of words) in a new 24" iMac core 2 Duo .

    I run 2 PC on a wireless setup with a Linsys WRT54g which can be set up for mixed (b-g) traffic. Will I have problems with networking ?

    The guy at the Apple store says just do a network search using airport and couple up using my network password .Is it that simple ?

    Techi Mac heads please help. I know you are out there

    go ahead and get that iMac. Once you go Mac, you will never go back to the PC. It is just as addictive as the kilt. I just got another one earlier this year and it is a fast machine and VERY STABLE. I have been using mac for the last few years and the machine ALWAYS works. It was never a down time.

    and yes, your new iMac will be able to join your current wireless set up at home. but soon, you will ditch your current router and got for an Airport Extreme. and soon enough, you will also ditch the PCs and replace them with other Mac machines.

    For now, keep your Sigan Dhu ready, your family is going to fight you for the use of the Mac.

    you may need to increase the Freelander Sporran output in order to substain this habbit.

    I currently own an iMac, an iBook and a Mac Powerbook. Wireless networking with all of them is a snap. That's one thing about Macs, they just work - period.

    Yep, what they said. I'm an old IT guy accomplished with Unix, Windows and MAC OS's. What do we run at home? A Power MAC G5, iBook G4 and MAC Mini Dual Core Intel all on OS X 10.4 Tiger

    Buy the MAC. Take it home. Plug it in. Surf.

    (Wouldn't hurt to pick up a copy of OS X Tiger for dummies though - lots of good tips and tricks if you like to play around with settings.)

    May a dram be with you.

    I don't currently own a mac, but I have been considering a mac laptop for my next computer. It's still a little while off, so I'm interested in this thread.

    I want an I-book myself, but it's a ways down the line (lotsa kilts to buy first :rolleyes: ) I bought the 30g V gener Ipod (didn't want to run into a "need" for a bigger machine ) Have you seen they just released an 80 gigger???? Itunes conveniently offers full length feature films too.
