You'll never use a PC again. Be careful though, Apple products are addictive

Reyes goes strangely quiet when the question of compatibility with 90% of the computers in the world and 100% of the computers in schools is raised.
Report Reyes • December 29, 2009 4:09 PM GMT
what? eh? depends on the s/w being used of course. If a doc is needed textedit can save in RTF format which can be used by word. Otherwise, MS Office file format is same, so no problem.

Suffice for you EGG?

Hmm.... OK.

Things may have moved on from 1998? when I was seduced by the looks of the first iMac.

Poxy thing went back after a week. Nothing was compatible. All software had to be paid for etc.

Many pc files run fine on macs and you can get converters if need be - the odd thing is a problem - sky player for instance - but there are alternatives out there that are often better than the pc version (though you might end up having to pay for them). media files are fine to download as long as you have the right converters (DVX ,Windows media player etc) and they are usually free.

Build a hackintosh. All the benefits of Mac OS, at least twice the performance for same cost, and if you use decent components, will be just as reliable and at least as good build quality. Plus can install win7 if you want the best of both worlds.
