Mac vs PC Cost vs Features Thread

I bought a iMac tonight, 21.5 Inch with a 1 TB hard drive.

There is a assistant to move all your files from the PC to Mac, don't think I want to do that. I have many duplicate files on my PC.

Have fun! Gotta love that new computer smell. Let us know how the move-in goes.

Congrats, that assistant is helpful, but only if your currently setup is just like you want it. If you have lots of duplicates its probably best to just do it manually, thought that is a lot of work. In the long run it will be worth it! Hope you enjoy your Mac as much as I enjoy mine.

Keep us posted!

So far so good.

I ended up taking my office completely apart and rearranging the furniture. I have the iMac in a corner by itself and my PC and work laptop with docking station and monitor on the other side of the room.

I also networked my HP Color Laser printer, networking it with the iMac took 2 min, the PC's (three of them including wife's laptop) took over 3 hours. Seems that HP decided when they put out the windows 7 drivers they did not put out the drivers for networking (although they don't tell you that). I found that on a HP forum where people were bitching. I had to download another models drivers and it worked.

I hear what you are saying; we are using some Brother Commercial Printer at certainly locations on our network. The windows machines took a heck of a lot more effort to get them setup to work with. By comparison just running the built in setup wizard on the Mac Mini's downloaded the drivers and set them up via the network in about a minute. We had some windows machines that even after they were setup, we had to go back and run through the process after they were rebooted because apparently it couldn't remember the IP address of the printer.
