We need to update our computer equipment and I've managed to persuade my wife (and myself!) to move from windows to mac.
We're thinking of gettin a 12" Powerbook with a 20" or 23" Cinema display and wireless keyboard and mouse.
I've got some questions though before we make the jump to mac, maybe someone could be kind enough to reply?
1. How easy is it to import files from a Win98 sytem onto a mac?
2. Can you network a Win98 (or Win2000/WinXP) laptop and a powerbook together?
3. How good is MSOffice for mac? Any compatibility problems with Office docs sent from a Windows PC?
4. Are there any compatibility problems with downloading files sent by email from a Windows PC to a mac?
5. Can I play a CD on the powerbook and route the sound out to a stereo through an audio cable? Can you do this wirelessly with AirportExpress? Also for music played through iTunes?
6. Can I play a normal DVD movie on the Powerbook and we can watch it fullscreen on the Cinema display? If we play the sound for the DVD through a stereo connected either by an audio cable or AirportExpress will it still be in sync with the video?
Thanks for any help....
