thats the best smilie i've seen since the goatse one

Im fine with my XP

Correct, it is and is one of the reasons I had my x6800 box running hackentosh before pulling the trigger on the 24" imac (which I got via openbox for under $1750) direct from apple.

what are the specs for your 24" imac?

3.06
4 gigs of ram ( I upgraded it from 2)
500 G HD
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory

I work in IT, my IT manager has recently converted to a 24" Imac. His PC is now on the edge of his desk, which he rarely uses. He was very juvious about Mac's initially, but was forced to look into Mac/ Active Directory integration (due to our media dept expanding). So he bought a mac and hasnt looked back since. That was from someone who hated apple with a passion!


First thing I did when I got my laptop with vista on what flick the control panel to 'Classic View'. I find it much more manageable, have you tried this view?

it's not necessarily that I hate Macs. The only thing I dont really like about them is the file sorting. PC's tree sorting makes so much more sense than Mac's picture-esque way of doing things. I more so hate the company Apple than their product. They suffer from short man syndrome and act tough when they don't deserve to. I love using Macs for my audio production stuff I do for track mixing and sound recording, but it's just BS that they are so much more expensive than the PC equivallent.

plus apple have pretty much ignored the gaming market for ever.
