"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.

That? It's just standard bash that comes with most distributions. I customised the prompt though.

Yeah but I noticed yours (and a few others) are called eterm, whereas the one at uni is xterm - what's the difference?

G4. The money went into the bank today and I shall be ordering and taking delivery of it on Wednesday.

Good for you.

If you use msn though it is alot different.
No webcam allowed and no games allowed and no background alowwed.

There are better ones but not many people use them so you will have to stick with ichat and msn.


Safari is extremely good though.

I've never used MSN and I doubt I'll be using iChat, either.

I am looking forward to using Safari, though ...

How sad am I?!?

Not very.


Only one problem with Safari that I hope that they fix. I don't know if you have used tabs before but even though they have done alot of stuff for the tabs you can't drag a link into an already open tab. You have to close the tab and opeen another one either with the mouse button and click on the link and select open in new tab or by holding down the command button and clicking on the link.

Never used tabs - this'll be the first time I've not used IE!

*blushes*

Roll on Wednesday!

*grits teeth and trys to hold breath until Wednesday*















*goes light headed*

Heh, I didn't know that was possible. Just did it in Mozilla and it was very nice: cheers. I'm more of a middle mouse button man myself, but it's nice to have options.

Eterm is just a terminal emulator. It's better because it looks nicer.

Back to the Mac thread.

I'd use Mozilla if I had a Mac because it's just a better browser than Safari, no matter whether it uses the OSX UI or not.

U got it?

Is it any good?

I use Netscape Opera NOT IE and safari.

And Itunes Rules.
