Long time PC Power user (Zero problems & nothing bad to say but that's another story)
I've always been fascinated with different OS's and I've tried them all at one point or another: OS2, Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS so it was only a matter of time before I bought a Mac. 1st new Mac was an iMac DV $999.00 OUCH! At least I can get $30.00-$40.00 for it now
I paid for the OS X Beta. Since then I've purchased a couple of used older Macs to upgrade, sidegrade etc. I have a used dual 450 and I sold an upgraded Cube not too long ago. A few weeks ago I "scored" a MDD on eBay that died not too long after I received it. I struggled to get it going then threw in the towel....more time & energy than I'm willing to put into it. I was going to focus on upgrades for the Gigabit Ethernet but then I said what the heck & threw down and bought a Dual 2 GHZ G5 @ Amazon for $1850.00 shipped after $200.00 rebate. My first KILLER Mac.
I don't really need it for any specific purpose. I tend to phase in & out of games, DV editing etc. but when I need the power, it's there. Since the MDD took a dive, I've been using the Dual 450 as my main machine. I'm amazed by how useful & responsive it still is.
Anyhoo, this is my next step toward a full switch. I have no complaints with Windows but it gets a little boring once you've mastered it
. At least for me, OS X more of an "experience" and just more fun to use than anything else out there.
OK, I'm babbling. Now the waiting for the UPS guy to show up anxiety kicks in
It should be here Wednesday....
