I second this iMacs are great! I'm on a mac mini. The interface and design is so slick and sleek.

[myke]

A tutorial off the net would do, Dan ;)

[xxMATTGxx]

Bonjour for Windows may help, if you're considering a Bonjour network :]

Well I just formatted the drive with OS X on as the networking is ******* useless. Just fixed my internet on here (Windows) and OS X was like "no lol" so I formatted it.

The problem with you is you have a grudge against macs so you don't want to spend like 5 minutes doing research on google or any other sites why it wasn't working for all you know the problem could have been your error.

No actually I spent 3 hours messing about with it and switching between mac / windows to google things, networking on mac is stupid.

Edit: haha this is one of those times where windows "just works" like every other time windows "just works" which is always.

It might just work but it's a shame it crashes whilst trying to work... let's not turn this into a fan boy fight. :]

[Klydo]

Here's the thing though, Windows "just works" if it's installed on an Apple Mac otherwise it "just fails" on a PC. The only thing that can run Windows successfully is a Mac these days. A Mac running Vista out preforms a Vista Ready PC or Laptop by far. So stop being a Windows fan boy Dan and save up for a proper computer.

I don't think so, my pc is far more powerful than your "iMac" is, and if i need to upgrade it to go faster... oh wait, I can. Oh and if I should want to run OS X? I can. I want to dual boot and use multiple HDD's, some with the NTFS file system, can I do this on my pc? I can. I want my hardware cheaper than mac with better specs than mac, can I get this? I can.

I think I'll stick with my "improper computer" with XP x64 thanks very much.

What crashes? I turned my pc on, let it login to Windows and bam, I was reconnected to the internet before I even started Firefox.

[xxMATTGxx]

I had no problems with "Networking" on the Mac.

I've been using Airport and an Ethernet cable on my Mac (incase airport or the ethernet drops out) and have been having no problems at all.... :S

good now shut up trolling in a Mac thread in a Mac forum ok?

our school has crappy g5 macs. I could do better video editing at home on Sony Vegas than iMovie I'm stuck with.

That seems a bit excessive. And one of the screens is showing an error for some reason :eusa_whis

Sir do not inform me of when and when I cannot troll, I am not trolling here.

You're coming into a mac forum and a mac thread and complaining about it and quite explicitly saying you think windows is better.

that is pretty much the definition of trolling.

Nothing wrong with G5!

And btw, Macs are upgradeable. The Mac Pros are.

It works but you open final cut and have some video open it locks up every few seconds.

I didn't say all G5's were crap, just my school's ;)

Ye i have had the privalage of using 2x 30" for video editing

[Jamesy]

Stuck on CRT screens and iMovie.


joy to the bloody world. Not knocking all macs but I could do better at home than at my school.

My school has 2 media suites, each with about 30 of the new iMacs in with Leopard on. For some reason they have two projectors on two interactive whiteboards in each, I don't know why but they have to use two Laptops/Desktops, they should just dual screen them imo.

They have 2 Samsung HDTVs in each one, but noone knows what they are for LMAO.

My school's an art and media college with the worst supplies in that department :rolleyes:

they bought new pc's for nearly other other room and yet they leave the machines that barely run photoshop (CS, woo :P) alone in the media room with it's poor supplies.

Obviously protecting their interests :rolleyes:

Negative, that is just saying what I think.

Dan, you seem to have misunderstood how a Mac works. The specs don't need to be high to do with same thing that a Windows PC can do. My old Windows had nearly twice the power, memory and space than my iMac yet it still ran Photoshop and Dreamweaver a lot slower. The iMac even has a much larger collection of brushes than my PC ever did. The software just runs a LOT better on a Mac with lesser specs. So quit whining that the specs are lower as they do a much better job.

A perfect example of this is World Of Warcraft.

Windows setup is a couple of hours I'm sure, my friend had to go out a walk to pass the time.
Mac setup a max of 10 minutes.

(I don't actually like WOW before people start PMing me for my user)

Mac is just overall better.

Pretty soon Windows will be dead and buried due to Google. So anyone on Windows good luck ;)

My setup sucks... http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8089/dsc00531bj1.jpg

Hey,

Is that the 20" or the 24" version of the iMac?

My 24" is widescreen, and that doesn't look widescreen, so I assume it's a 20".

Yeah but mac has to support how many systems? Oh yeah, something like 4. Windows has to support upwards of 300,000,000 different ways to configure hardware, I'd say in terms to specs Windows does one hell of a job at it, alot better than mac.
