| 584447 | 2007-09-09 07:25:00 | I am pretty poor at valuing things, have a computer system that is second hand that I want to sell as I upgrade to an Apple Imac. Shomenno Good luck and enjoy your upgrade Shomenno. :) How on earth do you consider an Apple iMac an upgrade? Maybe Shomenno is not a PC tinkerer. flatbed scanner, HP ink printer that does photos, Speakers with sub, cordless keyboard and mouse, Windows XP Home. Just under two years old. You can download the scanner drivers for OS X, and get a copy of VMWare to run XP on your iMac if you want to. |

| 584448 | 2007-09-09 07:25:00 | Whoops a bit late into it for a quick reply - better late than never I guess. To my mind I consider an IMac an upgrade in the sense that is represents a higher quality environment to work in. By this I mean and OS that is more stable and secure, an environment whereby your hardware investment is not outdated in one to two years because it won't run the lattest software. Business wise, one subscription gets you the full version of the OS, no spyware, constant snooping and verification. I have become wary of the microsoft way, products rushed to the market, complancy born out of knowing people will put up with it because they have the lions share of the market. Thats my rant and rave anyway, not intending to flame anyone for their perspective, just to elaborate to your statement questioning "upgrade" Your printer and scanner should work with the imac unless you were going to upgrade them anyway |

| 584451 | 2007-09-09 08:25:00 | I have tinkered quite a bit with computer, the alarming thing and often frustrating thing is more with others peoples computers... lending help and problem solving. On the funny side having a Mac will set me apart so I can plead ignorance regarding not knowing their peril. That video is quite a laugh, I had an old Apple IIe they could have used for the job. Actually, that sucker still boots up and goes the full hog with most of the software I have on disc - I have fond memories of that computer, it felt truly amazing to me at the time. We used to name it the "Crapple IIe", in fact I remember my mates dad having a computer business called Data Link in Wellington. I think we might have been some of the first people to use the Apple Mac when it arrived on NZ shores! Now its back to Crapple! |
