Pc to Mac - finally.

dropped a thousand notes on a gnarly upgrade from my compaq, behold...

I'd love to get one if they weren't so dang pricey.
I could see having an iPad, for those not so fresh computing days.

We use Macs at work for some stuff. That's more than enough Mac'in for me. I just never jived with the interface designed decisions. Most notably a mechanical CD eject button. I am aware of the odd amount of ways you can eject a disk in Mac, but when your hardware is stored a significant distance from your operating area and your disc decides it didn't want to listen, it's maddening.

If you like the dock and the file browser it's a great interface, though. Definitely more solidly designed than your Compaq ever dreamed of.

I got a 21" iMac almost 3 years ago and it's been wonderful. When I replaced my laptop this last year I went with a 13" Macbook pro. Awesome ~

Nice looking lap top. I am getting close to finally upgrading my old Mac lap top one of these days. Congrats!

I'm with you Omega I have had to use macs at work at times but I just hate the way the OS is designed to be so restrictive and 'easy'. I just want to do things my own way and - indeed press eject - and not the often only possible way allowed by the system.

Plus I want to install and muck up my systems myself, putting different files to different HD's, govern swapfile locations/sizes, buffer sizes, select my boot programs and TRS's etc. and the mac system just is so...closed up and tweak-proof I can't even begin.

Even on PC I refuse to use the given programs for a given task, I want to install a separate program for everything, and my own choice, not what's already there or suggested, instead I remove lots and lots of system parts and replace with my own choices.

Congrats, IJ. Not my cup of tea, but it sounds like it might be a good call for you.
