Um, I do have a Mac! and well I will only use a Mac for email, I forbid
anyone to use a pc for mail since the pc version suck anyway. The only real
reason is I use Nero and WinMx , so that�s why I have a pc, I was a DJ for
awhile and its very hard to get club music these days so I was downloading
it. But I don�t much use it any more, but still need Nero, no burning
software is better, if Nero would make a Mac version as well as WinMx then I
could use a Mac full time again. I am starting out in the photography field
and I really need a new Mac, and that Mac mini is looking very nice.
