Re: Thinking of buying a Mac. Suggestions?

We're running:
2 PCs of which mine is 6 years old that I wish would curl up and die... a laptop from hell cos is looks awful and *is* awful, but for the purpose of what I need it for, it handles pretty well (about 5-6 years old) and a mac mini...

If you think about all the noise 3 PCs can make on a good night.. the mac is whisper quiet - which makes it great to work with on that level and yes, I too edit stuff on the mac but... i'm not a gamer... well... not with my pc I'm not a gamer!
I've veered for the 'worms' series... which sort of goes right the way you didn't want right? you want serious games.. well, some games ARE both mac and PC which means yes, you do have to look hard for a multiformat game. But they do exist.
And yeah, a lot of macs these days as I've seen anyway on some websites, do come installed with bootcamp OR win XP aswell (dual-boot stuff) and these have made my ears prick up some hehe! but having both means the best of both worlds.. just ensure you get some kind of external hdd to ensure that you don't expend too much internal hdd space for stuff... (believe me, we need an external hdd!)
Forget looking in PCWorld for a mac tho... so little choice and the staff know beggar all about 'Airport Extreme' and wireless router configurations....(man, did we have some probs there the other day when making enquiries!)
But yeah.. it's probably well worth going for a mac!
