    The only thing I like about the iMac is that it's extremely easy to create boot partitions and use it as a PC.

    I admit to having a secret desire for an iMac. I would only accept it as a gift though, as I could never use my own money on a Mac product. But I would find the dual boot useful as I could use the PC portion as I do now, and I can learn more about supporting Macs this way if I learn that OS and add it to my resume. I've not submitted hundreds of resumes over the years because a prerequisite for positions was knowledge of Macs. Personally, I say let the Mac users suffer and don't help them, but if it gets me a paycheck I may have no alternative!

    That's a really ignorant thing to say - the ONLY difference between a Mac and a PC is the operating system. Both are using "PC" hardware these days...

    If you want to talk purely on a hardware application, then the PC platform is clearly superior. There are folks like my buddy who have build a "hackintosh" which uses a special USB device that allows the MACOS to be installed on hardware that's unavailable in any MAC from Apple... It runs faster than anything Apple produces.

    If you want to talk OS - then Windows7 by most accounts is a better OS than MACOS - that said, it's hard to give full credit to Apple as MACOS is really a fancy shell on top of a linux kernel.

    Indeedy, at first when i saw it i was like whaaaat lol, but when i started typing it was all going smoothly, so as a test i set the keyboard ontop of my old laptop keyboard, and its almost exactly the same size, i think it just looks really small compared to what we are use to a desktop keyboard being,

    that explains a lot, Mr. Astley.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
