I have not "switched"... I still use both a PC and a Mac now.
The adjustment is simple, and it is easy to maintain files, etc. The main difference, in my opinion, is that Mac OS has a much "thinner" feel to it.
It is a snappier OS, sleeps better and wakes up faster, and is pretty easy to manage.
It is also a bit easier to install and uninstall, though it takes some getting used to.
The two major issues, hands down (despite what Apple fanboys will tell you), is that you will run into apps and hardware that will only work on a PC, and also that the hardware is under powered (both in terms of availability and cost) compared to what you can get on a PC.
Threads like this all over the web, so read up.
FWIW, I really love this little 13" MBP. It is highly portable and for what I do, it is a perfect compliment to my awesome desktop and work laptop PCs.

Hi!
I purchased the Mac Universal Dock today and was having problems with the Line Out.
I can plug my stereo cord directly from iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my Panasonic Stereo System's "Music Port" and I can hear sound form its speakers.
When I place it into the dock, and use the "line out" I can only hear music from the iPod itself and not from the external speakers.
Any suggestions? Any settings to change?
Thanks!

the first versions will have tons of bugs, dont u want a stable OS when u first get your iMac? thought so. :)
Lion will come with a ton of bugs just like leopard and snow leopard did, sure apple will fix most bugs in time usually in the first 2 weeks of release but still. it'll be a buggy experience at first.

I set my grandparents up on a 350mhz powermac g4 about 7 months ago and they love it. I use a powermac g3 400mhz every once in a while to play some older great games, "You Don't Know Jack" They are truly great machines.
Getting to the point, for video cards try lowendmac.com they have forums dedicated to ppc and I'm sure they have all the different and best cards available for your g5.

Daedalus256,
Any closer to a decision yet on parting out your machine ?
Just wondering, as it seems you have several interested potential buyers, like me :)

I fail to see the need to preserve a baseband that can't be unlocked.
The team isn't going to waste their time working on 3.10 when they can just work on the most recent, or put serious effort into whatever comes with 5.0.
Then they'd just have everyone update to 5.0.

So my 2007 Xbox 360 decided to konk out on me today. It turns on and it makes the booting noise, but alas I just have a black screen (yes I've check cables). Fine, ***** happens. So I go to Best Buy to pick up the 4gb 360 slim. Low and behold they don't have it, all they have is the stupid 4gb Kinect bundles or the 250gb holiday bundle. They have stacks upon stacks of these goddamn bundles, but no stand-alone 4gb systems. Next stop, Target. Same story there, Kinect and holiday bundles galore, but no stand-alone systems. Next stop Wal-Mart, same story. Next Stop Meijer, same stupid story. Finally I go to Gamestop, and guess what only Kinect and Holiday bundles.
To say that I am pissed right now is a major understatement. Why do they have to stock all of these stupid *********g bundles? No one wants the damn things. Why can't they just stock more stand-alone systems? Maybe it's not the fault of the stores, maybe this is Microsoft's falut, because they won't make enough stand-alone systems. If that is the case, why do they have to be so stupid????
/END RANT/
Basically what is with this bundle crap? What happened to buying this separately?

This sounds like such a scam.
At first thats what i thought , though i think the OP is just trying to buy loads to sell in Israel but has realised he has got himself into a sticky situation once he realised its only 2 per customer.
To OP have you tried calling ALL best buys in Manhattan ?

Hi im getting this error,UIApplication may not respond to '+mainWindow' with my action sheet , but im not really sure why. any help would be greatly appreciated.
How to solve problems like this:
1. Open the class reference doc (UIApplication in this case).
2. Search for the expected method or property (mainWindow in this case).
3. If found, read the description carefully (some detail may differ from your expectation, such as - instead of +, or a different letter-case than you expected).
4. If not found, open the class reference doc for the superclass and go to step 2.
5. If not found in any class or superclass, then the reason for the message is simple: the class does not have the method or property you expected.
If you reach step #5, you'll have to modify your problem-solving procedure. You think it is method xyzzy, but it really might have method xyz, or zzy.
In your case, it's not clear what you're trying to do. You might mean the keyWindow property of the UIApplication instance, but if not, you'll have to explain exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
In general, it's always a good idea to describe exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

I have computers running all the time, and this seems like a worthy cause.
My dad died from a brain tumor, and my sister recently underwent surgery to remove a large chunk of cancerous liver tissue [and is starting up chemo very soon:( ].
It might be akin to throwing splinters from the arms of deck chairs off the Titanic, but it makes me feel like I'm contributing, and the competitive nature of accumulating points is a geekycool bonus.

I am going to be picking up my new 27" iMac at the store tomorrow. For the past 4 years I have been using a 24" Dell at 1920x1200. Since the 27" iMac is 2560x1140, do most people run it at native or something lower?
I am looking forward to the increased screen size so I can have more rows/columns viewable, but not sure I want them any smaller.
I sit about 24-30" away from the screen.
How would the 27" look at something lower?
LCDs looks horrible when not ran at their native resolution. You will definitely want to run it at 2560x1600. If the text is too small, sit closer or make the fonts bigger.
SHEESH!
2560x1440
@Topic, it looks horrible if not run at native res.

I just did clean installs on two 2011 MBPs. I'll mention what i did when I transferred my information , because for once everything turned out well. The data was on a HD removed from a dead MBP that was running 10.5.
I upgraded the old HD in firewire enclosure to 10.6 and ran all updates on it. I then ran the app CleanApp (http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/) to remove programs from the old drive I didn't want any more. Migration agent was used transfer the applications. It appears 3rd party apps have the registration code transferred, but Pages asked for a reg. no.
With iTunes, i deleted the iTunes folder in Music on the new HD and then copied over the old iTunes folder. This worked and preserved all metadata.
edit- i should mention that Migration agent made a mess of transferring itunes. This could have been because i had my music files away from where itunes would normally find it. Before swapping itunes folders, I moved and renamed a few files so that both itunes folders matched.

He died from a wound to his right calf?-- that a chicken inflicted?-- in two hours?
My thoughts exactly, I could see him dying from infection, but not in 2 hours.... There must be more to this.
Do you think there was more to it � maybe fowl play was involved?
All I have to say is ROTFLOL! :D

I've got one.
I use it primarily for quick videos of my kids.
I love it and think the quality is better than the iphone 4.
Works well with Imovie
Great bang for the buck.

The iMovie thing does work, but I'd rather do it "the right way." :)
Edit: I have got it working (thanks for all your help) but I still am doing it manually in the sense that it does not stop when there is a cut in the tape. I'd like to get each clip every time I started to record, and it is too hard to do manually. Should I just get out of this iMovie mindset or is it possible to do this?
