I am new to the world of MAC. It all started when I have my new Iphone from Switzerland. At first, it was difficult to operate not only because of the difference of features in Windows but also, I am using an APPLE desktop and MAC laptop with German Language. Why german? First and foremost, I have to learn german because I am living here since few months ago. I also need to learn German through this computer so that it will be easy for me once I work in a company and they asked me to operate a computer. But all in all, I love Apple. I am still planning to have another laptop with windows because there are applications that is only applicable in windows and I have to dowload those applications. I also need to use windows once in a while because there are sensitive things I need to use in windows with english language. Anyways, what computer do you use and how you enjoy it? Keep posting, Jeff

Howdy yuansplace!... Are you a Filipino? Coz you look like a Filipino. Anyway. I am an Apple Technology Fanatic and a Geeky Macatoids. I have an Apple desktop iMac 20" 2.66 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with a 2GB DDR3 RAM and 300gb of hard disk space. I got my iMac last April of this year. What you really, really want or think-of for a computer are on Apple Macs. It is fast, secured, smooth and seamless. You'll notice this is the least specification of an Apple iMac newest models for today but I am completely satisfied the are no less only more than what I expected for a computer. Actually my very first computer was an Apple 2e way back 80's on my teenage years. But now this my second life in the world of Apple technology. Did you say windows applications? Well don't bother with those stuffs, I know for you like beginner or have just been switched it will be hard a little bit because I have also been that also. But as time goes on you'll notice or ask yourself "Why do I still need Windows applications or software?" And the real thing is that you actually missing out already the World of Windows because what you found out that the EQUIVALENT software and applications are much better or much has more power using on Apple Macs. on my iMac, I have triple boot OS: The Apple Mac OS, a Genuine MS Windows XP Home (sp3), a genuine free download of MS Windows 7. The Windows OS are merely for games or just an for alternative OS or for testing. My Windows games are those classic games because I still have those CD's installations. So, if is still working I might sell. But, lately I found out there are Windows games that you can natively have on Mac OS. The old classic window games and even the DOS games and also newest games. The difference of Windows and Apple MAC when playing those games there are no hassles at all when playing on Mac OS natively. But on the side of MS Windows there are some issue and that is of course compatabilities and bugs of hardwares and softwares. For application and softwares use there's nothing to beat on Mac OS they are all marvelous and fantastic. As I said they are more faster, secured, smoother and seamless. And beside those triple boot OS I have Virtual Machines (Parallel and Vmware Fusion) so I can access my MS Windows OS while on Mac OS without booting-up. Plus I have an Linux Ubuntu installed on my Virtual Machines. I also have an Cross-Over Games, its an MS Windows emulator. So as you can see my iMac of mine is so very enough for a computer to think of but this is a really computer or more than a computer you ever know. I have installed more OS on it without hassles they are perfectly working side by side. My iMac is a computer with more computers inside. So why, do I need a PC? If I can have it all on my iMac. And if some software and applications still bothering you how about we discuss more and share more ideas and information for what all that matters about Apple Macs and technologies. Ok. Thanks and Enjoy!... myLot!...

Ni hao pxm204192!... Thanks!... But no I'm not a real expert or advance in computers I'm just a user and of course has different experiences and using the computers. And also a techno geek at the side especially on Apple's technologies and also Linux Ubuntu. Because my machine the Apple iMac is new for me I just bought a couple months ago. I have dedicated my attentions merely what the heck I'm going to do with this iMac. I reformat so I can make triple boot. I've done by trial and error by reformatting and repartitioned the iMac a couple of times but I've succeeded and make it right at the end. Now I can use Windows applications and games side by side whether for using or testing. I don't need anymore additional machine or PC just to have Windows OS. I think maybe at some time at the near future or maybe not happened (I hope coz I might really mis that world of computer) that the Windows OS might gone at all or I might take away that side of my iMac because it will be merely a useless space but what the heck. Or whatever. Thanks and Enjoy!... myLot!...

I am part Filipino and part Swiss. Swiss nationality. Why did you asked? But anyways you seemed really very good in computers. Hmm, you even specify detailed information about your iMac. That is cool. Your iMac is pretty new and mine is not really new. I think a year ago. But just today, I got my new HP Laptop. I am using it now and Windows Vista is running supported by some applications I do not know. I never knew that triple boot Operating System you mentioned. I am not really good in computer. I am just good in looking at it physically. haha. Just Kidding. But really thank you for taking time giving me enough, I should say more than enough information about MAC. I am really amazed. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting. Jeff

to tell you the truth, I would never buy a Mac. Mac only limits you to minimal things. You can access certain websites and downloads. You can change are ware to a trird party and it overall sucks. I have a emachian desktop and a acer laptop. They both have great proformance and get the job done.

Howdy DrPain!... What do Mac only limits to minimal things? No you are wrong. You just proved that you have minimal knowledge about Apple Mac.

Your welcome my friend. This is my technique when I want to search some applications for Mac OS. Just search for, and at the beginning of your search is with this - Mac OS _(applications or softwares)_ like Mac OS graphic designs, Mac OS notepads, Mac OS Zip files. Mac OS disk utilities, Mac OS _(torrents)_. for torrents use "Vuze" is the best. Mac OS _(games)_ - Mac OS Need for Speed, or just Mac OS games.

Hello my friend. Thank you for defending me that MAC does not limit things. It is not true that you can only access certain websites.

I would never use mac cause it's not compatible with major software and it's pretty damn expensive. Plus I don't care for design that much

Thank you for your comment Bionicman. I understand what you are saying. It is really true that it is very expensive plus not many people use MAC. That is the disadvantage of having MAC. Another thing is not all software are compatible with MAC. So I know what you are saying. But I will stick to MAC this time. I love what I have. I probably will get another computer for outdoor use. Hopefully after I get my salary. Thanks for the comment. Happy Mylotting. Keep posting. Regards, Jeff

Yeah it's kinda funny cause when you use mac you need another pc. But when you use PC you don't need a mac...

Hehe. I get another PC not because I do not want to use my MAC anymore. I am a person who collects electronic gadgets and I really love having two same things at the same time. It is really funny but this is my hobby. Also, I work hard for everything I own. For some reason, I also would like to thank Mylot for giving me some extra income. I was able to get some accessories in Ebay. Pretty cool. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting. Jeff

I have a Windows PC, but my school's computer labs have Macs sos I am well versedwith those now too. Personally, I really like the Mac, but I am so used to PCs that I just can't change..

Yeah I agree with you. Sometimes or most of the time when you are used to something, you cannot afford to shift to another because you do not want to take a risk or want to waste your time. But I can say that give yourself the chance to learn more about MAC and definitely you will love it more. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting. Jeff

Hello China Boy. Yes it is considered expensive. But I am sure you will be satisfied with what you will pay when you get one.

I use the Acer 5920, and I love it, It has everything I need the only thing I could want more was a mac, my cousin has a MacBook and I love the way it's set out and how it operates, it's much more sleek and better presented, It's also not as prone to computer malware as windows are which makes them way better to use on the internet where you never know may be lurking.

I also use Acer before but I forget the model. Once again, I am not good in remembering all the models. So you have the chance to look at your cousins Mac. At least you were given ideas that MAC is actually one of the best right. Take care. Keep posting. happy mylotting. Jeff

I once tried the mac operating system. There is much difference in use between mac os and windows. Its interface is very beautiful and it runs very quickly. In order to manipulate and control it, I have to read a mannual with several hundred pages in English. I could operate well at that time, but to tell the truth, I have forgotten most of the operating ways since I gave up the mac os two years ago.Good luck and have a nice day.

I actually even enjoy MAC OS now to my windows. I just bought today a HP Laptop and I almost forgot my knowledge in Windows Vista. I have not use this OS for long time and because I have been using the MAC way back, I can say that MAC really is more easy to use and have good interface.

what new about your ocmputer?your computer is not different from our now computers, what side difference of such this computer, what good point have your computer, have any characteristic of your computer, please speak out clearly your computer.i think the apple is very orginal serie goods, nowsday there is few of them which can be used by the now people. i think this is very difficult for you to grasp it, one is to know the knowledge of the computer very familar, secondly, the german language is grasped freely, two of them is not easy for the normal people, but good luck for you.

Hmm sounds weird. But I appreciate you come back here just to comment again. Well, with regards to my computer specifications and characteristics, I really cannot explain because I do not have good knowledge in computers. I am person who just loves what I physically see and when I use it, I know that it is good to use and easier. That is why I was able to compare it to the PC with windows OS. Well, it is very challenging for me to really familiriaze the computer components plus its applications and programs. I always believe that it is always nice to try something new that is why I am familiarizing myself to it. Second, you mentioned about learning the language at the same time, I already learned a lot and I am sure I will progress better and better because of this computer language. Thank you once again and I wish you good luck too. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting. Jeff

Hello, I think I wrote wrong description about putting windows in MAC. I am actually using windows. I was just confused while typing. But anyways, I was correct, you also use the same. I also noticed you have a perfect 10 star. That is really nice. Once again, thank you very much for your comment. I bite apple because I love to have it. Let us bite together. Happy Mylotting jeff

I'm both a MAC and PC user. But I believe that MAC is better than PC. Though you can't install softwares as much as you can with PC, I still enjoy it because Apple really cares for their users as they continue to create good applications for you to download. Hey don't forget that you can still use Vista with your MAC. You can do that with bootcamp, if you want to know more about this, use your search engine of your choice! good luck!

Thank you for agreeing with me that MAC is better. It has limitations in software that we can install but it offers the best applications and programs. Thank you for information abour bootcamp. I will be doing my research later on after this response. Have a nice day. happy Mylotting. Keep posting. Jeff

I hope you understand why I use German in My pC. First, this is one way for me to learn German faster. Second, I would push myself to work in an office environment and it requires a person to be knowledgeable in computer. I might have the knowledge but the language is different then its useless that is why I am learning through this way. Keep posting. have a nice day.
