Opinions from the Apple crowd.

Err, just what are you chaps talking about?

Err, just what are you chaps talking about?

It's the beginnings of a good Apple Computer Geek Speek conversation. We've not had one of those here since I think Freelander Sporrano bought his new iMac sometime back.

I'm not up on graphics cards these days as I just don't do anything that requires extreme video performance.

As far as the desktop vs. laptop discussion goes...

I've got a 1.6 ghz G5 Powermac at home and when I upgrade that in the next year or so I think it'll be for a MacBook Pro. We also have a Macbook and I have a laptop PC from work and just like to be able to take my computer with me. Even if it's out to the back yard.

Something to keep in mind though about wireless keyboards (and mice) is that with the MAC if you want to boot from a CD you have to boot while holding down the "C" key. A wireless keyboard however is not recognized by the system until AFTER this point in the boot process so you'd better have a wired keyboard around somewhere in case of emergency.

Happy Shopping. (I was just a our local Apple Store on Saturday kicking the tires so to speak.)
