Yes, I did it! I bought myself a new 
Why an iMac? Frankly speaking, I have been around computers since… since almost as long as I can remember. My father worked for IBM, so we had a few at home. I somehow became an IT consultant for years but the fun was zapped by continuous Microsoft frustrations running their quirky Windows operating system. What had started as being fun, working on designing and implementing networks became a clean-up-after-Microsoft's-mess job. I couldn't take it and got rid of my company.
Then I had a stroke of genius! I swore to never give a penny to Microsoft until it really put out a worthy product and insisted on quality, instead of convenience. Still hasn't happened. So I bought a Apple PowerBook G4. That was over 4 years ago and it still works.
I don't have money to throw out the window, even less at Windows (LOL) so I had to be careful which one to choose. After doing a quick research on refurbished Apples, I found a top of the line iMac for less than the regular price.
How happy am I? Very! The new one works like a dream, is blazing fast and the 24" screen is like having my own private viewing of the world on my desk. Why would I deal with an annoying operating system that has viruses, is targeting by the entire world and is about as secured as a Swiss cheese when I can have an Apple?
Maybe I will post more here this way…
