Mac Mini (1.2ghz) with 512 MBs of RAM once I get a putty knife. I'm sure some of you remember me arguing how terrible Macs were when OS9 was around, but I gotta say, OSX combines everything I like about Windows, everything I like about Linux, and a whole lot of unique features.

Now to find some free software, which is apparently less of a community than on Windows/Linux.

My brand new iMac G5

Specs:

20-inch widescreen LCD

1.8GHz PowerPC G5

600MHz frontside bus

512MB DDR400 SDRAM

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra

64MB DDR video memory

160GB Serial ATA hard drive

Slot-load SuperDrive

Brand new iPod Photo 60GB (firewire, dock etc included :D )

Loving them so much! :D :happy:

I got a Mac mini. :D

My PowerBook is still my main machine, so I got the 1.25Ghz Mac mini. I suddenly got it as a gift from my grandparents for no reason, so I'm pretty happy about it. :happy:

So far I have the following Macs:

Mac mini, 1.25Ghz with a 20" Apple Cinema Display (Perfect match, the Mac mini looks twice as awesome next to a Cinema Display) :p

PowerBook G4, 15", 1.5Ghz, SuperDrive

Xserve G5, 2Ghz, 1GB RAM, Dual 80GB ADMs in RAID 1 (Mirror)

:woot:

My Mac Mini arrived today!!!

G4 1.25GHz

40GB HD

512MB PC3200 DDR

OS X 10.3.8

Nothing special for now. Its very easy to install apps on a Mac. I'm already using FireFox on it. I might just dump windows since all my desktop does is run thunderbird. I don't really play games on it, since I have converted from a PC gamer to a Console gamer.

Bought an iMac G5 1.8GHz 17" Screen + 768 Ram, 200GB Hard Drive (which I upgraded myself from an 80GB). Mac OS X Panther (Tiger will be in when released).

This is my 3rd attempt to switch and this time it's a success. I sold the PC and don't really feel concerned with the Microsoft evolution with Longhorn anymore.

Previous Switch attempt were and iMac G3 500MHz and eMac G4 1GHz

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
