I can get with that for the most part. I like this option even though I'm working on a 80GB laptop HD because I'm one of those people who constantly has the latest greatest system update. But I like to do clean installs too, so the split solution works pretty well for me. I have a 200GB external that I do a full backup to… -

So tonight I came home with the following: iMac 20" with the same amount of 'guts' as the first level of 24". The more powerful 24" is special order and 6 - 8 weeks away...:cry . I didn't want to wait... So, I decided on the 20" with a 23" apple cinema display. The sales guy figured that as a "prosumer" I might be better… -

For MACS only!! PCs cannot do this yet --- (Warning:I don't depend on my images to make a living - A good thing some folks may be thinking:D )- I find my images quickly with Spotlight.

1. Yes you will. 2. If you have a full copy of widows, the latest MACS let you nativelly boot up in windows, so you can still run MS Office with the copy you already have.

I'm talking about supporting my wife in Office. She's the type where I say click on the desktop, and she says "the what?" And really, I don't care who knew, it's stupid to set the prefs to a new format that most of the world can't open. Sure they can get the doohickey, but they just haven't. I think Word works as it should…
