Thanks, Korn. Anyone else have anything to add? (Where is Sean Kim?) 1. Apple is less prone to Virus and Spyware. 2. Apple made a vast improvements over the past 5 years. 3. Bill Gates acknowledged Apple's advancement for the next 10 yrs.

Apple is more expensive but it's got a better operating system plus you can have both OS 10 and Windows installed on it. Also it has better graphics and applications for photo editing and what not. I'd get one of these! I am considering the Apple desktop, 20-inch iMac 2.66 GHz (2GB memory, 320GB hard drive). The next choice would be the 24-inch iMac 2.8 GHz (the same memory and hard drive as the 20-inch). Is there a significant difference between 2.66GHz and 2.8GHz ??

Major Pro - Most Viruses, Trojans, and Spyware are programs that are written for PCs.

I have used Mac Computers including MacBook, Mac Pro, and Mac compter cluster. I strongly recommend Mac rather than Windows. As long as you use Mac, you don't worry about virus at all. Once the computer alert security update, just do it and that's all you need to do. Also, I believe that Mac provide more user-friendly interface, comparing two operating system between Mac and MS-Windos. Applications? unless you use illegal copies of application, you can have all softwares that you want to install. I bet Mac! I am now convinced that I am making the right choice. Thanks, comiclife. Another question: What do you do with all the stored information on your old computer that you are about to throw away ? Is there a software that collects all the information out of your computer and delete them or something?

Bin, you create a back up disk....then do a full system recovery, this will erase all the stuff on your old computer. The recovery takes your computer back in time to the day you took it out of the box. "Full system recovery"? So, I get a blank disk, put it into the computer? and then click something? LOL. Please help... step by step, anyone. As you can see, Memories, Fawn, and I are anxiously waiting.

So, I can use the memory stick to collect and save all those information folders and then transfer them to my new Mac via the memory stick (as long as they are compatible)? Thanks a lot, comiclife. Sorry we made you so tired. Haha..

I have used both Macs and PCs for years, and I prefer Mac quality and workmanship. You'll have a better ownership experience with Apple products, but there are drawbacks. Most productivity software versions are either better on the PC, or get earlier releases due to market dominance. Also, lots of third-party software, games, messengers, etc. come out on the PC first (or exclusively), or have a better feature set than the Mac versions, so I would just partition your drive and install Windows in the event there is something you want to run on the PC side, that you can't on the Mac. Unless you are running Adobe Suite, Logic Pro, Reason, or other resource heavy-software, you can get the 2.6 Ghz chip. Most people don't run resource-heavy software. Get the 2.8Ghz, only if you do not mind spending the extra money. 2GB RAM is enough too, so you'll be OK. I STRONGLY recommend you buy the Apple Care protection plan for the Mac. I had a hard-drive go out after a year, and it was covered. Also, my iPod died, and it was replaced. If I didn't have the coverage, I would have had to pay for that myself. That happened once with an iMac that chronically overheated...and died. It can get expensive to repair/ replace...so make sure you get the coverage. Only 10% of the Apple products I've purchased have failed, but the coverage is definitely worth it. Take care, f/f I did not purchase the protection plan for the MacPro... which would be about $350. They told me I have one year to purchase it, so I need to make up my mind soon. The protection plan for iMac would be about $160. In other words, it'd cost me more than $500 just for the protection plan/s.
