iMac

I had this machine for about 3-4 years .
It's the 600mhz G3 ( i think it's G3 ) with 1g of ram ( PC133

) 40G HD, and CD Burner.
I'm looking to get a DVD Burner for it so I can swap it with that CD burner . But that's a Hard task to find it . I just want it in there so I can Burn DVD Movies that I'll make once a blue moon .

I did upgrade the operatin system from OS X to Newer OS X . I like the way the machine works and all that , but there is one thing that gets me a litle upset .

To go from OS X 10.3.#.# to OS X 10.4.#.# You need to dish out a nice chunk of change . I was lucky that I paid $0 for the 10.3 ( Panther I think ) .

Instalation was no problem .

But Later i found that I can't use any of the applications that I dounloaded for 10.2 on my new 10.3 OS . They don't want to work .

So since that time I don't batter to use that machine as P.C. ( Personal Computer ) . It's more of Internet, Im, Movie editing machine , Oh and Digital Camera Download machine .

So It's On 24/7 , and it dose not freeaze like a Windows machine would after a week of running 24/7 . It's a good machine , but it has it's cons

When you say "freeze like a windows machine", do you mean a IMAC running windows or?

No. I mean that the iMac will run for mounths before is freezes on 3rd party softwere . When My Windows Runing PC would freze on a screen saver that comes with windows .

And I would have over 1gig of ram in bouth machines .

Wow. Months of running and no freezing, if Windows could fiqure that out, there would be no reason for apple at all. It would just be the big W. lol.

Buying an iMac instead of a REAL computer is like buying a crappy used car for twice as much as a much better new car.

Sure, it doesn't crash, but it's less useful when it's working than a PC that doesn't work.

Since I animate a lot, and am trying to start photoshopping, a Mac would be better for me, It's better for design purposes. But thats really the only reason I's choose one over a Cindows. And they look cooler, but I wouldn't decide whether or not to buy one with that pro.
