iMAC info

[SBG]

Anybody here a mac user? An imac user? I'm considering getting an imac but I'm hesitant. I'm very tired and frustrated with windows and want to change. I've tried dabbling in linux but it can be very complicated. I want something that's not necessarily easy but not as complicated as linux. Mainly I want to be able to install software, such as instant messengers, without any trouble. I'd like something that's comparable to a PC's double click and install process. And I'd like to have something that's widely supported in that all the major software you find will work on it. If anybody can give me some info on imacs or mac in general I'd be appreciative. Or let me know where I can find the info. Thanks!!

next computer i buy will be a Mac
worked with them in college, as well as at my old job, much better than windows

The last time I worked with a MAC was back in middle school or early high school. That's about 20 years ago. lol A lot can change in that amount of time. That's why I'm looking for info. And it's my impression that, just as you say, they're better than windows. But how easy is it to change from PC to MAC? And is all 3rd party software available for PC available for MAC? That's what I'm getting at.

I used a PC for 14 years and I switched over to a Macbook this year...Mac is simple and easy to use...I have Microsoft Office on the Mac.

I changed to a Mac user a little over a year ago. I have had no trouble and never get the blue screen of death. I recently upgraded to the Leopard OS and had/have no problems. At this point I would never switch back.

Just have to remember that most places around here don't carry Mac programs. I order most of mine online. You will be able to find Office for Mac, but games and the like are hard to come by here.

I'm not a big PC gamer so that doesn't hurt my feelings. lol But I do like to play flash and java games online, mostly on forums. Will those work on mac?
