Sorry not been on here lately...

But 3 weeks ago i got myself a new toy.... & can't leave it alone... (Before you all jump in... I'm a bloke & it doesn't use batteries !)

27" Imac. Absolutely stunning.
Been a windows man since the beginning. so this has been a massive jump for me.

So anyone using a mac with useful advice, then please feel free...

Using CS5 for sublimation images & so far so good. Seems hell of a lot quicker on CS5 alone compared to windows... just trying to find appropriate software similar to what i was using on Windows 7, for template software etc..


Anyways.. i'm back...

Great to have you back Rob, sorry to hear you had to get the iMac, my thoughts are with you at this dark time :redface:

Its a religious thing lol - I remember an article comparing the difference between mac and pc users as being equivalent to the difference between catholics and protestants. I am glad I am not a religious expert and can offer no similar comparisons. I always fancied trying a mac but would I think miss the diversity of software available for the pc.

I have spent a week looking at different cutter software packages and the choice is both amazing and bewildering - although unlike others I did at least get my chinese plotter working without too much hassle - assembling the stand however was a different matter :rolleyes:

Anyway welcome back and let us know how you get on.

Hell yeahhhhh!!!! I would sleep with it if i know i wont damage it in my bed lol

I got my imac too but smaller one. Whoever things mac can not replace.windows is wrong. There is loads for a mac. For software that are onl for windows i use parallel desktop. So i can run windows inside the osx! Works a treat!

Is CS5 on a Mac not the same as CS5 on Windows?

I think Macs would be ok if they halved the price

Once you get a mac you will soon find out where is the price they are made beautiful. Also genuine os for mac cost £20. How mch os windows this days?

[mgibbs]

But Macs now use standard hardware, the same as Windows pcs, so if the OS is only £20 someone is making a huuuuge markup

Well. It depends what way you look at it. They made they os to be best as it can be for they computer. They desihn them so they know how to design software fo it. What microsoft do is only desgn the os. Nohing else.

[mgibbs]

Yep, that's why they have a reputation for stabililty - they control everything.
Doesn't justify the high price though

I do think that Windows 7 is very reliable though. Hopefully Windows 8 will be even better.
