AppleDave Veteran Posted December 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have a wired modem and a wireless modem in my windows machine, is it easy to do that with an imac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundayx Veteran Posted December 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2005 somehow, the thicker boarder under the screen of the imac still puts me off of having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY:G Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Really nice computer, i want one, just a question... I bought Adobe CS2 for windows, can i install it on a Mac, or do i have to buy the whole thing again if i want to use it in a Mac??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 @.Danny - This is a review, not a discussion about the new intel systems coming out. @AppleDave - Do you mean a wireless network? if so, its so easy, once you configure your Mac (its like a wizard when you first do it, basically does it all for you) it as simple as that @CY:G - Im affraid so, but you dont have to buy it :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted December 3, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have a wired modem and a wireless modem in my windows machine, is it easy to do that with an imac? On my Powerbook its as easy sitting here for approximatly 30 seconds and waiting for airport to alert me with a window saying, do you want to join trusted network [insert Name Here]. This does this anywhere, at the coffee house down the street, my own house, it even picks up my best friends neighbors wireless network in his room and connects without a problem. All of those are windows based networks, so yea literally no hassle what so ever. If you can hit ok, then you are done. Sax, I am so envious, awesome pictures for an awesome machine. Welcome to the club!!! Also, if you need some speakers, I suggest the JBL Creature II. I just got a set for my Powerbook and its simply amazing. Apple style, JBL sound. Its so awesome!!! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 I am tempted to get some JBL Creature's but im sort of saving for something else at the moment :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollystar Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 is there actually built-in speaker in iMac G5? if yes, the how good is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winni_uk Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 is there actually built-in speaker in iMac G5? if yes, the how good is it? There are built in speakers, and they're of an ok quality, but I'd seriously consider buying a seperate pair of speakers to go with it... And possibly an external Audio interface too... If you've got the cash and want to do stuff with Logic or other programs... *Is getting a pair of Alesis monitor speakers in March* Nice review by the way Saxondale :) I'll probably post a review of my 20" G5iMac when I get it (HOPEFULLY monday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreuger Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well I guess they'll let you play around if they think you might buy one. We don't have any Mac places around here that I'm aware of. I went to my cousin's near Toronto and spent the weekend there, we were at Best Buy and I played with one for like 5 minutes...I'll have to find some place to go try one out.
