Hello all,
After months of stewing over it, this lifelong PC user is making The Switch after work today. I've decided to get an iMac 20"/1gb/250 gb to replace my battered, late 2000-vintage Dell PIII800 laptop. I haven't used a Mac even semi-regularly since studying print design in the OS9 days, so this should certainly be interesting...
A few questions before I go back to the Apple Store:
1) Is .Mac worth it? I could go either way with this one, but the $30 off is a good inducement.
2) What are the chances of my current printers working under Tiger. I have a Samsung ML-1450 laser and an HP Photosmart 1350. I didn't really take into account the possibility I might have to replace these and obiviously would like to avoid it if at all possible.
3) Do I need any additional utilities beyond those integrated into the OS?
I have a feeling I'm going to be asking some fairly embarrasingly elementary questions around here the next couple of weeks, so thanks in advance for everyone's help!
