...HD with CD-ROM and an Apple 17" CRT Monitor (the one on tripod feet) over a year ago off E-bay. I love it so much I called him Albert! I spent 10 years working on computers, starting on a Wang(!), and then progressing to pc 486's, etc. I finally saw the light when I went into Publishing, and used my first Apple Mac, a 6100/66. I've never turned back. Not only are the G4s stylish to look at, they're practical too! I have never opened up a computer ...
...half use that! If you've seen Windows XP and liked it, you'll find the Apple OS a joy to use (it's my opinion ol' B Gates has been doing some thinking). I run a Virtual Assistant business from home, and I use my Mac for work and for play. ... Read review

Advantages: fast,good GUI
Disadvantages: expensive, less software to support

...faster speed. For those people, apple is their only choice. If they use PC, the color will not be displayed correctly. I will bring trouble for publishing. The apple's GUI and the apperance design are all far more better then other operation system and other desktop computer. It can be called a art, not a commercial product. So, on average, Apple is farely good for its price. ... Read review

Advantages: Macs are brilliant, although my opinion may be biased!
Disadvantages: Getting hold of software can be a bind if you're in a hurry to play with the latest games

I am a Mac Fanatic, using the machines both at work and at home and very rarely have any problems, but I must issue warning to all considering the purchase of a second hand MAChine - check out the prices and availability of memory for the model you're looking at.

...a problem and cost is comparative to that of a PC user to upgrade), but at home I have an ageing 8500/120 which I have been forced to upgrade to OS9 in order to run a game for my kids (OS9 requires 32Mb of RAM alone) and considering I only started out with 32Mb of RAM, I have had to investigate the damage to my pocket to put things to rights memory-wise. Imaging my shock and dismay when I started surfing to find the best prices (having got a ball ... Read review

Advantages: Fast Clean Easy to access upgrages
Disadvantages: old ppc architecture large

I personally have all ppc g4's in my house and the 775 MHz is so faster its like 1.25Ghz. Also these macs never loose any of there value and you can resell the mac if you wish not to keep it in the future. The macs design is unlike any other PC on the market i have seen. Also the mac is brilliant because of its easy access to all the upgrades you would ever need to do if you so wish so. All Macs from G3 to the intel macs come with USB's this is a ... Read review

Advantages: Small, stylish
Disadvantages: Not powerful enough, WiFi is useless, discs get jammed

I owned on of these for about a week before I returned it. The reason I think this is a failure is because it is not mini after all the adapters you have to plug in before it even gets close to being any use. First of all you will have to have the VGA adapter connected to it, because the Mac Mini only has DVI output, before you can connect a monitor. Then comes connecting up the keyboard and mouse (its supplied with wireless keyboard and mouse ...
...of the two USB ports. Now you will also to by an external usb floppy drive, there goes port 2 of 2, and if you wish to use a printer, then you will have to buy a USB hub. The networking is standard, however is you want wireless its going to cost you. The Mac Mini has very little power, so expect long waiting times and slow downloads due to the 167 Mhz bus speed. The slot-loading combo drive only works with standard sized disk, try using the 80mm ... Read review
