Hello all, I got rid of my windows based Laptop and bought a MAC Ibook G4.... it was weird and more complicated to use at first....but now I like it! Actually my wife bought one first, then I got one. It is alot more stable than windows and alot of fun to play around with. Here is a pic of it...it is cool the apple on the back lights up.

Oh man now i have to ban you from the site. haha jk. Macs are cool and are defintately cool looking machines. Im a windows guy myself and its my bread and butter so Ill prob never switch. I have heard a lot of good stories about Macs though. I never really gave them a chance so i cant talk and plus Im a computer nerd so any windows problems i run into i can fix. I got an uncle who is anti-windows and all about the macs. He trys to convert me on a weekly basis. lol. :biggrin:

I have been repairing and building computers since 1984 with the commodore's...then got an asociate's degree in 1987 for computers, and im working on my masters now...im currently in school. I like windows alot...so I got Virtual PC and installed it on my MAC then installed XP Home...so Virtual PC lets you run Windows on a MAC...it is wild!!

Yep I've been into computers for a long time...it is fun!

Macs are freakin sweet. I used a pc at home since high school but we had macs in programming classes & the library. Then a year or two ago i bought my own - a Mac Mini. Never looked back.

My gf just bought a refurbed iBook (G3) for $400 earlier this year and she loves it.

Great laptop, better than any windows based laptop I have ever used, and I have owned like 6 different brands including Dell. Mine has the 15" screen. Mac OSX is %100 more stable and faster than windows XP. You never get freeze-ups or errors....windows is just a big mess. LOL!
