Technically I switched 18 months ago when I bought my iBook, but with my new 1GHz iMac now sat proudly where my PC has been for the last 4 years, only now do I feel as though the process is complete!
3 years ago now, The Creative Director at the Design agecny I worked for was a huge mac-man and convinved the MD that the office needed an (original) iMac to be used as an ISDN machine so as to free up his G4. In a move totally unlike the MD he plumped for exactly the right model and soon after a new iMac DV was sat next to the G4. Now, I'd used Macs before and altough I had no problems with them, had never seen what they could do over PCs. Then I saw iMovie! I was instantly hooked - I'd done a media degree and alot of my work involved video editting on the studios Broadcast suite, and iMovie just blew everything else away in terms of its fun-factor and ease-of-use. My own DV-camcorder never wanted to talk to my PC/Firewire card and after 30 minutes of tweaks/resets and restarts i was luck to have captured 30 seconds of footage. As an experiment I took the cam into work one day, not holding out much hope of success as it wasnt on iMovie's compatible list. Needless to say, within 20 seconds iMac and camcroder were talking in perfect harmony!
A few months later and OS X arrived and I finally new I had to get me one of these things. the first Tibooks were stunning but far too expensive and the iBooks at that time just looked like toys to me. When the Snow iBooks rrived in mid 2001 I knew I had to have one and after a month or so of justifying the purchase, I bit the bullet and a few weeks later it turned up on my doorstep. I got a phone-call at work telling me it had arrived and couldnt wait to get home, but the others in the office were even more impatient and I drove home to pick it up!
18 months laters and my little iBook is still going strong, and now it's joined by the 1GHz iMac. My first desktop Mac replacing what will probably turn out to be my first (and last) personal PC.
Having read alot of the threads about the new iMacs on here I was a little sceptical at first as to whether or not it was the machine for me, but having used it for a few days all I can say is that it is the most stunning machine I've ever used. Even with only the stock 256mb RAM on-board (more in the post!) the whole system is responsive and speedy even when running Photoshop, Director, Flash, Word and Safari, Yahoo IM and iTunes at the same time (as I am now!). iMovie 3 runs just as well as iMovie 2 used to on my iBook and iDVD 3 is just looking so cool it's untrue! And the screen!!!? I remember pushing those things around in stores thinking "thats very clever, really smooth" but its only having worked with it properly that I realise just how awesome it is being able to move the screen around, rather than me!
I used to think my old Creative Director was a little mad for his almost hysterical PC bashing, now I know couldn't agree with him more!
...and to finish off, well...as they say, a picture speaks 1000 words...

The temperatures under full load when running prime 95 are 73 for CPU A and 63 for CPU B.
Tad higher than I'd like, but can probably be lived with (assuming the reported data is even accurate).
So partition the Array in Windows using something like Partition Magic ? As otherwise I believe the default disk management utility in Windows cannot partition in HFS?
Not sure how Partition Magic would work with an array (never tried it).
I just use the OS's ability to partition, or on occasion, Acronis True Image (use it for backup and cloning under Windows, but it also has a partition tool in it).

im thinking of queueing up on thursday too. What time does it open? I have never queued for something on launch day before. Is it likely to be a HUGE queue? Will they sell out of iphones in hours? Can I reserve before hand?
Thanks in advance for help.
Joe
p.s. Also do you know if orange stores will be selling the iphone on pay as you go and have them in stock from thursday? Also if I was to buy one from vodafone on pay as you go(I know a guy in the shop), would it work on orange?

Thanks, I hope that the store will give back another machine for the time they figure it out.
I also had a Kernel error with Snow Leopard OS original DVD inserted...
and another Kernel with Caldigit Expresscard USB3.0 inserted...
I'm taking a picture of every single error.
I hope it will stay alive, I'm in the middle of a work and I need a working machine (also because it isn't a cheap one!)
This machine makes me regret so much my 2009 17" one!

You could simply open yourself an iTunes UK account for free.
Use a random UK address, such as a UK Apple Store (http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/storelist/).
>> Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534)
In any case... (click the following for large 600x600 version)

I was listening to NPR on Sunday morning and there was a spoit about the Rolling Memorial (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/rolling911.html) that a fellow had put together for his big rig. He said in the interview the reason he did it was for about 6 months after 9/11 everyone in the US the he met was so polite and friendly to everyone else and now, years later we've forgotten all about it and gone back to our old ways. He wanted to try and remind people of what had happened.

Keep up the good work :).
I like it, too. It looks much more modern. There is a lot of info but as arn mentioned, that could be good or bad. Once I get used to it, it'll be good.
Happy New Year.

Tried updating to the latest OS. It failed and itunes says iPad needs to be restored. Tried restoring and get error code (-1). tried restoring again. It goes through the restore process, completes, then says it needs to be restored (as if that's not what I just did). So I try again and get error code (-1)

Sounds like stealing music to me..
I figured I'd get blasted for this after I post. The thing is, the share feature is incorporated into iTunes and lets you listen to other peoples music. I want to download their music so I can put it on my iPod. I'm still only listening to it and not selling it or making money off it.. I dunno.

I like 1Password (http://agilebits.com/products/1Password/Mac) for archiving my serial numbers and other passwords. You can even store the email in 1Password as reference.
How do you use 1Password to store email? I own 1Password. Never knew it did that.

Shortly after buying my Macally BTMouseJr, I raved about how great it was. Now, after 3 million batteries, I'm not so thrilled.
Brand new, top-quality batteries get sucked dry by this little gizmo after only a few days of regular use. The cheap batteries last only two days.
I'm definitely planning on buying some rechargeable batteries so I can afford to continue using the thing, but if I had known what an energy guzzler it was, I may not have bought it.
ALSO:
When using it with my Apple BT keyboard, the cursor jumps around the screen like a flea on crack.
Has anyone found a BT mouse that they really like?

I don't really have an asking price, as I don't know what's a reasonable price. I know you have a 12" PowerBook. Trades? :D
Hmm...I'm not exactly looking to trade my PB at the moment, but here's an example of what I sold my old iBook for, it was a 1.07ghz 12" with 512mb 40gb HD and combo drive, I got $800 for it, so I'd say that $1000+ would seem reasonable. Especially seeing as the HD is upgraded and (possibly) the RAM, and Superdrives do boost value, so anywhere from $1000-$1200 wouldn't seem unreasonable to me.
(By the way, I'm not interested in buying it, just bought a 800mhz G3, just felt like helping you out a bit.)

Nobody knows. We will likely know when Steve plans next years Macworld. If it is at SF, there is a good chance it will always be at SF.
Apple doesn't put on Macworld. There used to be two Macworlds, one in SF in Jan. and another on the East Coast in the summer. The Boston show disappeared a few years after Apple stopped going to that one. The WWDC is now Apple's summer event.
