Well, after a few months of thinking it over I've got myself an iMac. My PC threw in the towel recently and it seemed like a good excuse to spend some money.
I've got a 20", 2.4 Ghz, 320Gb HDD and 1Gb RAM. I've also bought a HDD caddy which will be housing a 320GB drive and a WD Passport 250GB portable drive. The extra RAM will be on its way soon, (I figured using the Mac for a bit would be good as when I get my 2 or 4 GB sticks it will be like a new toy again
)
The Mac was £950 with Office 2004 (which I'm sure you can upgrade to 2008 for free). It worked out a £20 more than you would pay with HE discount, but what can I say, I'm an impatient, impulsive guy
First impressions are very good, I've got my right click and finding OSX very easy to use. I'm a bit unsure about uninstalling programs but I'm sure I saw a guide on here recently about that.
Now, essential apps, what do I need?
EDIT:
Ok, now I have questions.
1) How do I format an external drive?
no doubt more to come...
