Me either, I will still use PC's for games and windows only apps. My
wife loves the thing. We both love the widgets. Found one with a
countdown till Christmas. Another tells me that my World of Warcraft
Doomhammer server is up or down. Just great stuff. Now if I can get her
gin rummy and yahtzee games for the damn thing.

Too many problems with them at work. They can't handle what we

in that we are testing. Those are little better than the older G5s but
still lots of problems in a corporate environment.
I have an older mac here...it's cool because it's different but I don't
think I could make the switch over and use just the mac.

I cannot believe how sharp and vibrant the image is.
Some things I noticed...
Setup: What a cinch. Answer a few questions... simple stuff. Done.
Everything worked. I didn't have to install or remove jack. VERY
friendly. Very sexy. I took the old family pc which was salvaged
Gateway mini case (tall but not as deep) and 17in CRT and put it in
the boy's room. Looks so sleek. If I was using wireless I would have
only one line connected to it - power. Speaking of, the power cord was
soft, flexible and flat angle. Setting easily located. Firewall off by
default though... not sure if that's bad or not. INet sharing through
the wireless was on? Maybe I misunderstood it, but I turned it off.
Heavy into the .Mac jazz but not forced down your throat. Mouse is
different - it is a button basically. Has a little gray rubber ball to
scroll with.
It's very nice and I am quite happy. I can see I will be an Apple fan.
