I still can't believe you're getting a mac. ...But if your folks are helping you pay for it that's awesome.

cheers,

Beleive it!

What about the imac?

Not any iMac though. imac 24. You'd still need to put in a 256MB graphics card and bump up the RAM to at least 2GB.

...BUt otherwise it's smokin'.

Actually scratch that. One of the new 20-inch imacs would do nicely. Still, try to go with the higher specs 20-inch model since it has nicer graphics hardware. Since you're going to work with video you might as well invest in a better graphics card.

cheers,

Thanks man!

Hey everyone! Well I have decided to stick with a PC instead of buying a Mac. Only because I have worked with a PC for so long, that I have grown accustome to them. Also they are a heck of a lot cheaper then a Mac. The advantge with a PC for me at least, is that I only need to replace the CPU tower. Since I still have a decent monitor. Also I won't have to move my websites, or change my emial address' or get a new ISP server. I know the Mac, can do a whole lot, and they do have their own advantages, but a PC, is just easier for me.

Wise decision Paul. I don't see how buying the Mac ties in with you having to replace your ISP server and e-mail adress though. I can access any of my e-mail accounts and internet service from all of my Macs and PCs.

PS,
If you are planning on doing graphics you might need a better graphics card too. Which one do you have now?

NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX graphics with 64MB DDR Shared video memeory.

My PC is 5 years old, so my grphics card is limited.

BTW: I won't be getting into graphics illustartion. I was getting frustrated with the course and software, by the second class. I have a hard time translateing an image from paper to a computer. I do better, from imagies in my head. Plus I was feeling to resrticted. I can not be creative with resrcitons.

I'm going to have to think of something else, carrere wise.
