Fair enough! OS X has a built in FTP server, so i have anything on the mac that needs to be burned to DVD i just FTP to the mac from the pc and burn it from there.

He's got a Mac Mini - and he's only got it because I showed him how good Macs are! ;)

Macs are very upgrade-unfriendly. If you think you might want something, it is far easier, and normally cheaper to buy it like that, than trying to upgrade later.

Thats another reason as to why I have now decided on the iMac, plus it seems pretty good for the price and I have heard people say the G5 is a good processor

The only risk is cosmetic,This def seems the best way to buy a mac if thats what floats you boat and you find what you want :) specially if what you want is what carries the full 45% off
