ironic how the guy bought a mac for it's looks , then rubbishes it as all showand as for macs being mere toys and an os with no oomph ( god , that's the most stupid thing i've read in a LOOOOONG time )do your researchhttp://www.apple.com/business/http://www.apple.com/science/ie;http://www.wolfram.com/ - mathematica is a mac only high end

" MACs are just as susceptible to viruses as PCs are but nobody bothers writing viruses for them because its too small a marketplace and wouldn't make enough impact. " err , you obviously have no idea what you're talking about

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html stand corrected :)

Puncher: So they're great if you only run Apple software on your Apple computer - cool actually there's thousands of apps for the mac , some like photoshop came out on the mac years before the pc http://www.scl.utah.edu/computers/mac/new/softalpha.html that should keep you happy ! the only thing the pc has more than the mac is viruses and that's

one thing that is vastly improved is bluetooth in tiger it was pretty flakey , on leopard it just works ! i'm sure that by 10.5.2 ( prob xmas 07 ish ) i'll be singing leopard's praises much to all the pc users annoyance :) as alex said it's a new os and i should really give it some time to mature lets just say it's a lot better than

i had a 20" imac that suffered with screen discoloration , that model was due to the back panel being poorly made in the factory pesonally i wouldn't buy another mac all in one until they start using led backlights or get their act together i've got a mac pro instead , noisier but you can connect it to your tv and use that as a monitor

congrats on the mac leopard unfortunately has one glaring gui flaw , search spotlight and the find comand don't have nearly as many options for displaying info as tiger and for searching system files you have to enter the first column ( kind ) click other and choose system files or use easyfind the resulting search is labelled name , kind and last

the thing i find slightly worrying is that the hdmi sockets appear to be vertically mounted and unlike dvi they don't have a locking mechanism , so there's a chance the plug could fall out has that happened to you yet ?

i realise it probably sounds a bit crazy , but i'd be interested in seeing the rear of the tv , particularly the dramatically upgraded connections

i wouldn't get too carried away with all the hype surrounding 24p / 100hz etc my brother just bought a sony 32d3000 which has all the bells and whistles picture wise - only thing is - we ended up turning them all off as the picture just looks weird , the much trumpeted 100hz feature makes everything look like it's moving in treacle and all the
