Bailey - my dad recently bought a new Mac and won't stop harping on about it :roll:

Does look nice though. ;)
I'm on the old Power processor version. I talked my mum into buying one of the new iMac Intels.....it is frighteningly fast and competent......and the best bit.....it runs windoze software too!
Your dad's a wise owl!

I'll tell him you said that ;)

It's a very nice piece of kit, and I like the fact everything's contained within the 'monitor' and just how quiet is it? :shock:

I'd love one - if just for the funky looks, but I've a hifi fetish (as you well know) to feed and pooters are somewhat low down the list. :(

Still - when I've managed to totally f*ck up re-building this PC who knows what may materialise. The swear box may be full enough to get one. :D

You.......hifi.....???
The other nice thing about about the iMac......it has built in optical audio in and out! There's a worthy excuse to digitize your collection :D

Oh yes, like all things, Macs do go wrong sometimes, especially when you keep changing what is on the hard drive.
However, having said that, I have an old G3 Powerbook (Pismo 2000) which hasn't been re-booted since August 2004! It works as a print server for my Wi-Fi home network, a music server for everyone on the network, a music player for FM distribution around the house, and has a second hard drive for wireless backup, Oh!... and as an occasional DV PVR when my HD recorder is busy.

It may be getting a re-boot soon as I am going to update it to Tiger from Jaguar, so it will talk to Leopard better. :?
