Once you go Mac you never go back!! I was amazed with this computer. I was frustrated with how badly my dell desktop was performing - every day I would get a blue screen crash. After being a diehard PC compatible practical person, I made the leap to the iMac last year and I couldn't be happier. iMac comes with software as good or better than that which came with the PC. The usability is 100 times better and I don't miss anything that I had on my PC. Even more important - NO CRASHES! Buy a MAc and you will be very very happy with your purchase - guaranteed!
