I want to buy a iMac Computer

[Buy American]

I am shopping for a new computer. I've looked at some at Best Buy, including an iMac desktop. After using Windows since 1999 I am a bit intimidated by the OS on the Mac but have heard nothing but good things about it. Does anyone out there own one and could give me the pros and cons. Also, does anyone know about Comcast and how the iMac is with their service?
I'd appreciate any information I could get.

Buy American, I have owned a Mac Book for the past few years and can’t ever envision myself owning another PC. It will take you a few days to get used to it but I am sure you will have no problems. Mac’s rarely crash and don’t get viruses. I really believe they are better products. I would suggest taking a trip to Novi to the Apple store and talking with the team there. They will even upload your files from your PC to your new Mac. I don’t used Comcast so I can’t say if you will have problems with them or not but I am pretty sure you won’t. The only drawback to owning a Mac is your either have to downloan new software or go to the Mac store, to get it.

What about the mini macs ? I'm tired of the Microsoft fiascos every two weeks. All I do is surf the net, on dialup, and want to access a few websites a couple times a week.

Macs = $$$$$$$$$$$

They are nice. AVOID Mac Mini. Not expandable for pooh - just changing or adding RAM is a pain. Cant add better graphics card to those - nor can you use dual monitors [[if you do graphics that is).

Macs cost more to be sure...but last at least twice as long and run smoothly from the first moment on. Mini's can't be expanded, but for 500 dollars, would you expect it to be?

As an aside...until a fix comes out, time capsule is almost as buggy as the most stable PC application [[not at all up to the standard of all of the other first party Apple applications).

Go to the Apple site on Wednesday morning [[or very very late Tuesday night) and watch for the Mac refurbs to appear. They are under warranty and every bit as good as a brand new Mac.
