I work for an Apple Premium Reseller, so to all of you who said Mac's are bad for business.... they're great for mine! In response to comments about gaming on a mac, yes for years now the Mac has been lacking in the gaming department. Now they they are running intel processors and high end graphics cards they are in a far better position. EA games have said that from now on they will release Ma versions of all their games at the same time as the PC version, instead of making Mac users wait. That being said, from my experiences and from what I've heard while attending MacWorld, and WWDC (world wide developers conference) most of the gaming software companys are pushing for console based gaming. PS3's and XBOX 360's are built with one thing in mind... gaming. PC's will soon be left out in the cold with the Macs in the gaming scene, with most of the gaming developments being made for consoles. wesleyt - if you're using Open Office out of protest, you would protesting louder by using Apple iWork... it can open any office files, and you can save any of you files in an office format that can then be opened by someone using office on a PC. It has a equivalent program for word, excel and powerpoint.
