"I'm buying an iMac"

I've fianlly got round to saving enough cash to buy myself a nice, shiny iMac. I could afford a G5 but would never use it to it's potential so I thought I go for the middle of the road.

I was wondering if any of you guys have used or do use an iMac or any Mac with OSX on? Is there anything you can't do that you can on a PC? Apart from reboot, that is ...

While we're at it, can anyone recommend a Mac alternative to FrontPage Express?

Cheers in advance.

You're making a mistake.

Could you be a bit more specific?

Mac's aren't the most talked about/popular systems here, you'll be better off using a Mac only website/forum (no offence, I'm not systemist - or whatever the word is)

I read somewhere that Macs only have one mouse button: is that true? If so, it would drive me absolutely insane.

On the other hand, they do look cool.

Okay. I'll be leaving, then.

Thanks for the help, guys(!)

Nooooooo! Don't get a mac!

Build your own machine and install Linux ;)

If you're using it for Photoshop, Quark or general design work, then yes - a Mac is a good choice. Anything else, forget it. But yeah, they look rad. I have this one at work.

'Tis a beautiful beast. But crashes every hour or so. Grr.

Wow, that's the third John Lewis post in the past few days (couldn't be bothered to find Myst's post)

Apple Mac's are genrally for people in proffesional jobs.

Like design/Publishing etc.
