iMac Vs PC Anyone have knowledge of imacs?

Okay my PC has crashed thinking seriously about going to an iMac

Any one out there using a Mac and how do you like it with the MLS and what do you do on your supra?

My understanding it will be compatible with the mls but not my palm or phone treo for supra.

Does it work well with our P2 website ?

The only way I can get palm or treo phone is to have a windows op system on it as well, and that pretty much defeats one of reasons I want to switch to a Mac. NO Errors or virus problems.

This purchase will be my 4th , in the past always went with HP, like their propduct , hate all the cords and the gliches that come with windows and now I keep hearing not so good about Vista and should waite untill it has been out for awhile. Need some advise please help

I have three Macs and your right they don't crash my oldest one is 11 yrs old all I've ever done is upgrade memory and system softwate. I just use them for graphic arts programs. Sorry about the bad news July 10, 2007 5:11 PM
Guest	Jeremy Lynnes said: You can install Windows on a Mac for these purposes. You have a couple of options: 1. Parallels Desktop (http://www.parallels.com) that allows you to run Windows 'inside' Mac OS. You can move files, copy and paste back and forth and if its run in 'Coherence' mode its pretty seamless. This is the route I would recommend for you. 2. You can also use 'Bootcamp'. This allows you to choose whether you want to boot windows or Mac OS when you turn the PC on. The main downside to this is that you can only be in one or the other. Both of these would require you to own (or buy) a copy of Windows. The nice thing is that you can use Windows for just the things that require it (MLS, eKey) and use the Mac for everything else. I hope this helps! July 10, 2007 5:50 PM

I love macs and have one of each but the reality is, 90% of my stuff is windows and it's just easier. July 10, 2007 5:55 PM

My husband still has one, my son has one, and I have 3 or 4 in the closet (left over from the business). but I really had to switch to PC with real estate. As much as it hurt me. shelly July 10, 2007 6:31 PM

Member Since '06	Joe Schutt said: I have to agree with Shelly also. We have to PC's and a Mac g5. the mac can't do the everyday stuff so well. All of the mac users in our office have problems here and there because the mainstream world uses windows. As for the palm, you should be able to use your treo with your mac as long as it is not the windows version. July 11, 2007 7:53 AM
