Re: mac



I'm also going to tell you to get a mac. I've been using them for ten years
now and the os is great.

I've never used a manual, but if you feel the need for one, I would start
with the stuff O'Reilly puts out. You can find them here:

http://www.missingmanuals.com/

And although I've never even looked at the missing manual series, I have
some experience with their main line of manuals regarding programming and
they are great:

And like someone mentioned, the discussion group is really good and I would
even suggest to you to go to a local apple store, if there is one your area,
and walk in there and talk to someone who works there about a problem you're
having (which you are not but look a topic up in the forum for example) with
your mac and I bet they will not only be happy to help you, they will also
know what they're talking about.

get the mac. especially now. the new intel macs are great because you
get the best of both worlds. Mac's OS is such a joy to use. But the
new macs allow you to install a copy of windows and dual boot, so if
you need the pc for any reason, you can do it. Mac's are more money,
but they're really fine machines and in my opnion are 100% worth it.

I agree with everything Nate says, BUT be sure to factor in the price of
a service contract, because without it the support from Apple is less
than zero.
